Today was the most beautiful day we’ve had this year. It was about 10 degrees warmer today than yesterday, which made it almost 80° F. James and I slept later than we wanted because of the time change, so we didn’t get up until almost noon. We lounged around here for about an hour before getting everything ready for our trip to the state park up on the mountain. My mom and sister decided to go with us, and we took Charmin as well.

Once we got up there, we had a picnic lunch, then walked the trail that leads to an overlook of the entire city. With the help of my sister, I was able to find my papa’s house. That was pretty cool. We also went over to another area of the park and walked the trail around the lake. Charmin did really well on the trails, even when tempted by other dogs and people. He was on a leash the entire time (state park rule), but didn’t drag James around or anything!

Since this is a short post, I will leave you with some photos I took today (View the whole set here):
