Our schedule was supposed to get less crazy after baby arrived, wasn't it? Oh well, despite some exhaustion (my wonderful sleeping baby has had a cold this week, and not slept much more than a couple hours at a time at night!), we had a fun weekend. On Saturday we participated in the Dartmouth Outing Club's attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail in one day. Along with some other good friends & Dartmouth alums, we hiked the last 7 miles of the Pennsylvania AT. It was a pretty easy hike, but perfect for our first time hiking with Emily and a perfect way to catch up with friends (Stu & Sarah have recently moved back to the East Coast after spending a couple years in Rwanda, so there is lots to catch up on!). The weather even cooperated and we got some great views.
That night we got home just in time to shower before my cousin Angie & her new husband Rand came over for dinner. They were in Philly for the weekend and we really enjoyed getting to spend some time with just them outside of a chaotic family gathering.
Sunday Alasdair went to an Eagles game with Alden, Becky & a good family friend who takes them every year. Such a fun tradition. I stayed home and listened to the Sox lose a heartbreaking game 3 to the Angels. :( Later Mike & Heather (more college friends who now live in UT & were on the East Coast visiting family) and the Leanders came over for dinner. It's amazing how spending time with Dartmouth people just sort of feels like home!
Did the Dartmouth Outing Club succeed? What a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteDid you send in the pics to the DOC? :)
ReplyDeleteMB - No! I think they were like 50 miles short or something. Not bad out of 2000+, but sounds significantly less cool! Oh well, we had fun. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Katie - Yes. I sent the one of all of us that we took earlier on in the hike. (Where Alasdair isn't standing directly in front of the sign you are holding.:)
