Our Vacation
9:03 AM
Four years ago on February 6th, 2021, Scott told me he loved me and wanted to pursue a serious relationship. We always try to commemorate the day in a special way. We enjoyed three days and two nights away this year, a much-needed break. We've both been busy working on various tasks and it was nice to enjoy some quiet time together, good food, and hiking.
We stayed at a cabin at Lake Brownwood State Park, which is special to us. We stayed here for our first anniversary and for my birthday in 2023. We were so happy to be back. This was the first time we had spent much time exploring the town of Brownwood. We enjoyed a fabulous bookstore and a local steak place.
The next day, we enjoyed going to a new-to-us State Park: Abilene.
Scott made an amazing dinner for us that evening and we enjoyed an evening hike at Lake Brownwood.
On our last day, we returned to Colorado Bend State Park. We had been here once before and adored it. It was a strenuous hike that felt amazing. We saw a cave opening, returned to the Gorman Falls, and enjoyed scenic views.
I am so grateful for this time together to enjoy some hiking and time together. Where has been your favorite place to hike?

I love that you celebrate that memorable day! You two are such a sweet couple!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, what a bookstore!
I admire how you both hike so well. Our family has tried a few times in the past. We've been to Enchanted Rock. The first time was good just climbing the dome. The second time, we wanted to hike a trail but...we got lost, and I almost passed out. One vacation we went to Zion National Park- gorgeous views! But again, I got overheated and got sick. But my parents saw a beautiful waterfall others were going to, and it was just what I needed- much cooler in that area. I guess I'm not the best hiker, ha! Even so I've been enjoying your hiking posts. :) Those parks look really pretty! I'm so glad you and Scott had a great time away! God bless,

Well, if you ever decide to take it up again, just start slow and start when it's cool. I should probably do a post on tips for hiking when it's warmer. I've had a couple of times I did more than I should have and learned some valuable lessons.
DeleteThat'd be a good post to do- thank you! :)
DeleteI'm so glad you had this time away and had such good fun. I like Abilene State Park. My favorite place to hike would have to be anywhere in the Colorado mountains!

Yes! I would love to do more hiking in Colorado. It's so beautiful. Maybe, someday, we can do another trip together.
