A hiking we will go....

Today was a very fun, hot and exciting day. My friend Jen and her friend Sara came to visit me from Minnesota for the weekend. We headed out today to Great Falls National Park to do some hiking (aka walking for me. hehehee...) and to just enjoy the beautiful weather. The falls were absolutely beautiful and full of life.



This is a picture of me, Jen and Sara with the falls behind us.



We watched some white water kyakers trying to work their way up the falls. I can't imagine the muscle strength they must have. I was tired just watching them. ;)

After we hiked some more we headed out to the mountains of western Loudoun County and to Bluemont Vineyard for some wine tasting. It was such a beautiful vineyard and the views were breathtaking.



Sara and I did the wine tasting as Jen doesn't care for it too much. :)



I ended up getting a bottle of the donkey which is a rose wine.



They have this amazing Strawberry wine I was thinking of getting but thought I'd wait to take Eric out there to try it. :)

After we were done we headed back to Leesburg and to the outlet mall for a little shopping. Then it was home for dinner and not long after we all crashed in bed.

It was such an amazing day with 2 very awesome people.

Awesome trip with your friends, especially the wine tasting. We'll have to do that next time we're out there. We'd like to come out maybe this fall around Thanksgiving. That strawberry wine sounds fabulous - get me a bottle!!!
