I love that in DC we celebrate every holiday. Even the day Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It was so nice to have a long weekend. I tried to get Ben to go to Virginia Beach with me, but we bailed for about the third time in a month. Can you believe that, it's snowing in Utah, but out here the weather is nice enough to hit the beach! Ha ha.
Saturday we went to Prince William National Park, for about a three hour hike. It was gorgeous. So green, and the perfect weather. Here are some pics:

That was about as steep as the trail got. I sure do miss my mountain home. But my mountain home was never this green and alive.

Ben almost stepped on this little guy. We had fun playing with this millipede. His legs looked like a wave while he slithered on his way. We also saw a bright green caterpillar, a large snake (which would have terrified Carol), lizards with bright blue tails, lots of fungi, and some fish.

The hike by the creek was the prettiest part of the trail. It was great exercise. And a wonderful way to spend quality time together.
Sidenote: I'm looking for someone who has read Life of Pi. I need to discuss this book with someone.

It looks so pretty there! I would take that over snowing Logan anyday! Liz you look like you're posing for a calender. :)
I have to agree with Bizzie it does look so beautiful there but I love the snow even though it melted. :(
That millipede was awesome, though I was afraid that it was going to bite me, because I'm not sure exactly how those things work and what they're capable of!
P.S. For those of you interested I just found out that it was an American Giant Millipede and no it's not harmful to humans.
