Thanksgiving and Mt. Greylock

Hey Everyone and welcome back!  Sorry we took such a long hiatus from posting on the blog, but we want to start back up!  For our first post back, we wanted to share some photos with you from our first Thanksgiving as a married couple, and our hike to the top of Massachusetts.

We hosted Thanksgiving at our place, and we had an awesome spread, including turkey and all of the fixings.  We also had some good friends over, and everyone enjoyed their day!



The next day we figured it was time to burn off some turkey, so we decided to hike Mt. Graylock, the tallest point in Massachusetts at 3491 feet.
It is a long way up!



A cool tree to hang out in.



Caroline joined in too.





There was snow towards the top,  but the warmer temperatures were melting the snow, so the streams were running strongly.


More snow, lots of snow, and lots of water runoff.  



Frozen up at the top, very windy and cold!



The Mt. Greylock monument, honoring all of Massachusetts fallen soldiers.






View from the top, as it was getting cold and the sun setting we did not spend too much time taking pictures.



Almost back down, Caroline is getting excited to get home.




It was a great hike, and hiking up into the snow and getting chased back down from the running water was fun.  Until next time.
