Leaf Peeping

This weekend we tried to fit in a little upstate foliage action by hitting the Walkway Over the Hudson. My pace is pretty slow these days at 37 weeks pregnant, but we managed to cross most of the bridge before I had to turn around and hit the bathroom.

The dog peeping was also pretty great, Lily got to sniff some very interesting dogs (her words, not mine) and she zonked out in the backseat as soon as we started driving home.

A Camping We Will Go

Our friends (and owners of Lily's best dog friend) are having a baby in a few months so we decided to squeeze in a weekend camping trip before their lives change forever.  We had to put in a little research to find a dog friendly campground reservation between us in New York and our friends in Washington D.C., but luckily Pennslyvania State Parks has a really great website that makes the job easier.

We saw hot air balloon races as we left the Hudson Valley.

We spent hours watching the dogs play, chasing Lily around the campground after she chewed through her leash (three times!), and cooking really delicious dinners over an open fire.

Ohhh those poor dogs have such a hard life! Poor neglected babies.

On our way back to New York we made a pitstop at Becca and Alex's house in Pennsylvania.  We saw them at our wedding, but hadn't seen their kids in over a year! They were a little weary of bouncy Lily when we arrived, but by the end of the visit they were helping me walk her around the yard and giving her commands.
