| The view from Rebecca's Rock |
Today, daddy and I wanted to do something nice for mom for Mother's Day. So we took her hiking somewhere extra-special! We went to a place along the Appalachian Trial that she named Rebecca's Rock many years ago because it doesn't really have a name. But it has a really nice view and she used to go there a lot when she was younger and lived closer to the mountains. She hadn't been back there in almost 20 years!
I had never been hiking on this particular trail before, and I loved smelling the mountain smells and eating the mountain grass. It was so nice to get out into the woods, and mom loves the mountains. We heard lots of birds and mom enjoyed seeing all of the blooming wildflowers. We were so tired afterwards that mom and I slept most of the way home!
She said that taking her hiking to her own special place was the best Mother's Day gift we could give her.

ReplyDeleteDo you guys know the hiking trail up by Lexington that is an old railroad spur and runs along the Maury? It is one of my faves.

That's very nice that your sister came to visit. No, we've never hiked the trail near Lexington, but it sounds really nice. Have you and your parents ever hiked the Richmond Flood Wall? It's not a long hike and the view of the city and the river is fabulous.
DeleteWhat a great present for your mom!
ReplyDeletewow garth, what a wonderful day for your mom and for you and dad too~ sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day!
