Take a HIKE !

It’s such a beautiful time of year to hike!

We enjoyed an afternoon at the North Carolina Arboretum….

but instead of walking through the gardens….

or viewing the Bonsai trees…

or even seeing the special exhibits….

we took off on the trails !

Did I mention I’ve lost some weight? (maybe I shouldn’t be stopping people at the grocery store to tell them…do you think? heehee) I’ve lost 16 pounds now and I have so much more energy! (I also have a phone hooked on my waistband! lol )

I still can’t keep up with my sweet hubby though!

We hiked for over 2 hours in the most glorious weather…

with the beautiful Autumn leaves swirling around us!

We are at ‘peak’ here in the mountains of North Carolina and it’s beautiful everywhere you look!

Have you taken a hike lately? It’s invigorating!
