No Injuries

The hubby and I drove to Ohio to go hiking at Whipps Ledges, a place Sara P recommended. Besides having a lengthy car ride, which hubby likes to complain about, we had a good time. We chatted while he remained awake, otherwise I cranked up the radio and sang along while he slept. The hike had some beautiful views and some interesting "climbs" over tree limbs, trunks, and rock formations. I am notorious for injuring myself on these types of trails and the hubby was concerned with me climbing the rocks, but thankfully everything went well. The hubby had fun as we wondered off the main trail onto some side trails and stumbled across a snake. For those who know me, I have a crazy irrational fear of snakes. If I look at one I freak out, and after a bit of hysterical hyperventilating we continued on. Perfect weather and perfect day, plus no ankle twists, torn tendons, scraped hands, sunburn or anything.
(The pic is of me on top of one of the ledges, it's hard to tell how high up we are.)

I must admit, I too was a little worried for you climbing all over the place. I know all too well how easily you can injure yourself. I am so happy that this was not the case and that you had a wonderful time. You look great, by the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Looks like a fun place! I will have to check it out sometime. Hocking Hills (OH) is also quite pretty.
