weekend adventures: ellanor c. lawrence park

Our favorite way to spend a weekend is hiking - and with two adventurous dogs, we have even less of an excuse not to get outside to enjoy a little sunshine and exercise!

While I wish that we could head out to Shenandoah or the mountains of West Virginia (both within a couple of hours from us) every weekend, or that we lived somewhere like Utah or Colorado - such adventures aren't always feasible for us. So we are constantly looking for suburban parks that still offer a little escape from the city and that have nice hiking trails. This weekend we checked out Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, which was perfect for a jaunt in the woods with our loyal companions. There were big trees, meandering creeks with lots of bridges, and a pond full of lilypads.

"Come on! Quit taking pictures and let's go! I've got things to sniff!"

You know it's a successful adventure when Gravy breaks out the super tongue!
