middletown trip

our spring trip to maryland was probably one of the most-needed trips i've ever taken. i truly relaxed and came back totally refreshed. how often can you say that? both bbb and jake were very well-behaved. we spent 90% of the time outside, didn't eat out at all, and hiked all over the place. it was great to watch bbb enjoying himself and exploring the great outdoors.

i did get to hike my first couple (tiny) sections of the AT. headed south at Gathland State Park. Beautiful and peaceful in the rain.

The light was great all weekend- a perfect opportunity to take beautiful pictures:
