My black lab cousin Sadie is visiting from North Carolina this weekend, so I wanted to show her a good time. Because hiking is our favorite way to spend a Saturday morning, we thought Sadie might enjoy it too. So we took her to one of my most favorite trails in the James River Park System, the trail running from Texas Beach along the river to the Pump House and back. Mom thinks this is one of the prettiest stretches of the river that is accessible by trail.
I've hiked this trail many many times, but there are always new sights and smells. And this time everything looked totally different from last time, because everything is so green and growing like crazy.
Sadie had never been to Texas Beach before, so she found it all very exciting.
