dinsmore homestead ~ hiking & exploring

this week we went for a long walk in the woods at the dinsmore homestead.  after our walk we explored the grounds a bit.  it was a beautiful & peaceful morning.

our mini-vacation

last week we went away for a few days to kentucky dam village state resort park, which is in western kentucky, very near the land between the lakes.  it is a beautiful area full of woods, water and wildlife.  we explored the area a bit, but most importantly, we spent time relaxing and just being together.  it was so nice to leave technology and to-do lists behind for a few days.
