Last Vacation Week of 2018
We are on our last week of vacation for this year and it is looking a bit different. Dan's father had hip replacement surgery on Monday and because he is 83, Dan was feeling like he needed to go hang out with his mom and be there for his family. He wasn't sure which day he was coming home, but ended up getting here last night.
So today we headed out to a place we've been before called Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. There are walking trails there that we couldn't go to the last time because it was before my surgery. I liked the fact that they were fairly flat and easy and I ended up walking a mile and a half. My knee is actually feeling okay after that so woot!
The trail walks along a marsh, but because the trail was a bit lower than the reeds it was hard to see much of anything in the water. But there was a cool-ISH breeze and plenty of wildflowers. There was a wonderful scent of grapes on the vine.
Just as we got back to the car the skies opened up and it started pouring so the timing was perfect. We drove around the entire marsh on a road that is set up for this purpose. Most of the birds were roosting and riding out the storm.
Best part of the day? It cost $12.02 for lunch and that was it!
As we were walking, I did notice these floating down off the trees which means autumn in on the way!
