Things I learned yesterday on our roadtrip/hiking excursion...
1. I am much stronger physically than I thought (see my new profile pic)...I am so ready for a weekend backpacking trip now :)
2. Never forget snacks for the baby when you are doing a 4 mile hike.
3. When mapquesting be sure you mapquest the waterfalls instead of the apartment complex with the same name (believe it or not, that one was not my fault)! But it's also a good thing we are women and not men, because we stopped and asked directions as soon as we realized that we were probably headed in the wrong direction.
4. We can turn a 2 hour road trip into a 3.5 hour trip (still not sure how, but we managed it)
5. It is entirely possible for us to get turned around on the same road not once, not twice, but three times (I guess this would explain the 3.5 hours back).
6. When you miss the exit to I81 from Blacksburg to Roanoke, there is a deadend that is great for doing doughnuts (and yes, we know this from experience).
7. We need to learn how to build a fire using sticks (or bring matches and charcoal next time), but on the upside a picnic in 40 degree weather is still fun as long as you have really good food!
8. I love spending time with people you can have fun with no matter what happens and what you are doing :)
