It's getting up there, temperature wise, here in Montgomery, Alabama. High 80's and low 90's. It was a pretty weekend, and not as humid yet. Thank goodness for dry heat (at least for a while!).
Yesterday, I went hiking at the Oak Mountain State Park with my co-worker Deanna, her husband, and her 20 month old baby! Oak Mountain is apparently Alabama's biggest/largest state park with close to 10,000 acres of land. It's located about 1 to 1.5 hours north of Montgomery, and very close to Birmingham. We passed by a meticulously manicured golf course, horse stables, bikers, a lake, and lots of trees to get to the top to begin our hike.
We hiked the Peavine Falls Trail, where we saw Peavine water fall. The hike itself wasn't very long, perhaps 2 hours round trip. Most of the hike was in the shade, which was good because it was pretty hot. The waterfall wasn't just mesmerizing to watch, but provided a cool pool for folks to dunk their feet and chill out.
I'm very excited about the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, because I'm going to Spoleto Festival at Charleston, South Carolina! It's a festival of classical music, jazz music, improvisational comedy, play, etc. etc. I plan to drive, which according to mapquest, should take me 8 hours (translation 6 hours of actual driving ;) ). Until next weekend!
