Surviving my 1st hike!

Ok. If you know me personally - you probably wouldn't label me the "outdoorsy girl". I'm not big on farms, petting zoos, nature trails, camping, fishing, or hiking. I'm more of the "read a book on a beach somewhere" girl. Now - this is not to say that I do not like to exert myself. I enjoy water sports and a good gym class now and then.

This past weekend a group of us went on a hike. Yep. Me on a nature trail. A 4 mile hike with inclines and waterfalls. It was beautiful!! Though I do not think I'll be hiking again any time soon - the photos of the trail are beautiful (because the scenery was beautiful).

A Beautiful Fall Day at Riley's Farm

Today, my husband and I had the day off from work - so we decided to head up to Oak Glen and visit Riley's Farm. There's a LOT of photos - but I was having way too much fun learning the controls on my DSLR. Enjoy :D

At Riley's Farm they have colonial themed stores and decor. My hubby is a huge American history buff, so he really enjoyed the ambiance.

On our way home, we stopped by the El Carmelo Retreat House. Within the chapel is this 3D statue of the Holy Family. And IT'S MADE OF PAPER!!!!!!! I was amazed!!
