See the Blue Sky

• Jun. 22, 2009 - Father's Day and a Canyon...

I have long been skeptical of the holidays invented by greeting card companies in the 20th century, and have boycotted them for the most part for their capitalist and fascist sentiments.  But according to some, these days are important traditions within our society so I cave in to a degree.  I do refuse to buy cards, and usually forget to make them as well.  I also seldom know what day of the week it even is, so all of this may just be nothing more than an excuse for me to not be held accountable for not watching a calendar.

Nonetheless... we celebrated Marc this past Sunday by spending some much needed time together.  We went to Cloudland Canyon State Park in NW GA for an amazing hike down into the canyon to a beautiful waterfall.  Let me just say that down was easy...

I sense a craft project in Jett's visor :)
p.s. I wouldn't have sat under that thing either!

Yooper... It was right around 90 that day... about 10 degrees cooler than at home since it was up in the hills. It was breezy on top of the canyon, but kind of stifling without a breeze down below...
The waterfall hike we did wasn't very long in distance, maybe 3/4 of a mile each way, but it took about 2 hours as it was pretty much straight up and down. They had stone and metal steps built.
