Hocking Hills

We had a bigger trip in mind for July, but based on a gut feeling we scrapped that idea and decided to stay closer to home for a quick mid-week getaway.  We had a wonderful time in the woods of Hocking Hills.

For starters, we hiked a trail that was like a fairytale forest, a story book setting where we wouldn't have been surprised to see gnomes and elves along the way.

Then we treated ourselves to icecream and dinner and an evening of hot tubbing, followed by a simple breakfast the next morning, including homemade coffee cake, freshly picked blackberries, Goetta and hot coffee.

Ready for the day, we set out for two more trails that had a much more prehistoric feel with lush green vegetation and caves.  We hiked through all of this beautiful nature.

And at the end we were able to cool down by a small waterfall.

Little One called this whole experience an adventure and has already asked for more.  We don't disagree.
