Mountain Climbing

A couple of weeks ago, for spring break, we went to Arkansas and wound up climbing a mountain (Pinnacle Mountain). !! This is not something I would typically think of during vacation, but my sweet sister in law was kind enough to let us know the mountain was there, and offered for us all to go together there for the day. I was wanting some sort of workout, and I figured the view would be amazing, so why not?

The small kids (including our youngest) and the SIL stayed at the base of the mountain while we went up. It was not a super hard mountain to climb, but it WAS a little bit challenging if it was your first mountain to climb and you had on bluejeans, trying to keep up with a few people that are WAY younger than you. My legs burned and I was out of breath. I kept going. The view got better and better. My shoes were also not ideal for the rocky path, but I kept going. It was a really fun experience to get to the top with the husband and one daughter, and a few friends. I will say though, that I was the most sore I've ever been in my life for the next 3 days, and I have done a few pretty intense workouts. The Fitbit ap said I climbed 77 floors. Nice!

This is me sucking wind and acting like I wasn't too tired. 

Spring Break 2019 did not disappoint. We went to Arkansas to see the brother and sister in law that just build a new house on a hill with a WONDERFUL view of sun rises and sun sets. The weather was 100% perfect, and the kids (and us) all had so much fun playing on their acreage and going up the mountain. We even found a place called Pickles Gap that sells pickles just like my grandma used to make. Spicy and perfect.
