He was home! We were adjusting to being a complete family again and Buddy Bee was getting to know his Daddy after a long year apart. We had a surprise trip for Buddy Bee planned in a few weeks but first it was time for Mommy and Daddy to finally celebrate their 9th anniversary.
It was time for a post deployment trip away with my soldier at some beautiful places in the Finger Lakes!
Our first stop was Watkins Glen State Park!
What a gorgeous 3 mile hike! Bring on the stairs!!
What a beautiful place we are blessed to visit.
We attempted and failed...
Our cottage was booked through The Quiet Place.
It was a little hazy our first day at the cottage but we could still enjoy the view of the lake.
Our second day included a hiking adventure to Grimes Glen.
It was a short hike but still gorgeous.

My leader picking our path to the waterfall.
I absolutely loved this painted bridge.
After our hike we did a little shopping, visited some gorgeous properties, and had a quiet lunch out.
There had to be a kissing photo.

The next day we had a clear view to the lake.

We loved our time away.
We will always cherish this trip for so much happiness and joy we felt while here.
It was a perfect trip to welcome home my soldier from his second deployment.
