We had a wonderful time for our anniversary this weekend. When my parents drove off with Leah to visit my grandparents Pete and I looked at each other as if to say "what do we do now?!?!" The answer to that is head to main street NP and have a long and relaxing breakfast at the Bistro! After several cups of organic dark roast coffee we drove up to Mohonk Preserve and stopped at the visitors center for a map.
Giddy with the excitement of having an entire day and night to ourselves (for the first time since January!!!!) we chose a five mile roundtrip hike up through the Preserve to Minnewaska State Park and Awosting Falls, where we got engaged. After a brutal free climb up a steep shale "staircase" and a walk down the undercarriage road past lots of rock climbers, we finally reached the "start" of our hike. Needless to say...it had to be more like 6 miles. It took several hours and we were pooped and aching at the end but we had fun. It was great to talk like adults and enjoy an activity of OUR choosing.
More on our amazing dinner tomorrow. Pete did have a hot curry borscht that was out of this world though. But even with a great hike an incredible dinner and wonderful accomodations we still couldn't wait to get back to our baby!!!! Grammy gave her the sweetest little haircut at our request and she learned a little about "nice touch" when it comes to interacting with her baby cousin Clare. Since we've been home we've been trying to help Leah better apply the "nice touch" policy when it comes to Lemmy but it may take some work. Leah is so used to "kissing" her stuffed animals that she's taken to diving into Lemmy's body face first with an open mouth. Lemmy seems a little confused by it all but she still is a gentle soul with Leah.
I can't wait to share more pictures from our weekend. This one was taken by Pete on our hike (before the battery ran out in our camera). There's lots more to show you. I'll also have to take some new pics of Leah with the little walking toy we won for her off e-bay. Talk about off and running! It's a good thing I had this weekend to relax...there's NO keeping up with her now!!
