Our Hello Autumn Hike

Now that I've quit working (for pay) John and I have some days off together for the first time in four years.  But he is off M, T and W.  Monday and Tuesday are school days for us, and Wednesday Jack is normally at wilderness class so Lu and I hang out in town with friends.  Jack didn't have class this week, so we took advantage off the odd day off and went for a family hike.   How is it possible that we had never taken John to one of our very favorite hiking spots?  It has drama, a little danger, climbing, caves, waterfalls!  It is usually the first place we take out of town guests.  I didn't yell at anyone as we were packing to leave the house.  Lucy cried for only half of the hike.  These are both major improvements.
