Beautiful Weather in December

On the weekend before Christmas, we had absolutely beautiful weather.   It got up to about 70 degrees outside which is crazy for here in December.   We had originally made indoor plans but quickly changed our plans when we saw how nice it was going to be.   We decided to take a hike on the Billy Goat Trail near Great Falls in Maryland.   It was a wonderful hike.  The kids did great climbing over all the boulders and staying on the trail.   We will need to do that hike again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Of course, a good snack makes any hike fun.
This hike was about four miles long and there were a lot of rocks, boulders, and rock walls that we had to climb up and down.  The kids did really well with all of them.  They walked the whole thing.  However, the last half mile was a bit of a struggle as they were getting hot and tired, but we finished.   After the hike, we enjoyed a pizza dinner at a nearby restaurant.
