Counting Crows

August is one of my favorite albums and a favorite month. We had another fantabulous vacation in the White Mountains. 14 years plus and it is wonderful each and every time. The food, the company, the smell of clear mountain air. The p-i-t-a tourists from a country north. Well maybe them not so much but thankfully we really only shop one day. We climbed our way around Mount Washington. Traveling to Huntington's and Tuckerman Ravines. Our fearless leader was an accomplished White Mountain trekker and planned the 7 mile route. We were all pretty pleased with the effort put forth that day.I was thrilled that I'd earned the right to eat like a savage.

We also traveled to the Zealand Falls Hut. A favorite hike we hadn't done since 2007. It's relatively flat and was a welcome excursion after the last march. The falls are comprised of many levels so there's plenty of places to sit and get wet. I did not. It was freezing.

TLP returned for two weeks. One week of vaca with us and three of his three peeps, and one week at home. He's off again to school which starts tomorrow. I think in addition to climbing around rocks, putting up with a party here and there and locating the bookstore once again...he's happy to be back in the throws of college life.

I try not to wish my life away but mid-August...come back soon.
