Hiking

Today after church, Mark, Emily, and I went on a picnic and hike with some of our church family up Kennesaw Mountain.

The trail was wide, but there were sections that were fairly steep. It was a good workout. I was tired when we finished, and I think my legs are just beginning to feel the soreness =)

The day was beautiful. It threatened rain all afternoon, but not a drop fell from the sky.

The view from the top was beautiful, and we could see all the way to downtown Atlanta. On a clear day, I imagine the view is even more amazing!

 

Hiking was one of the activities on Emily's list of things she wanted to do. She raced to the top with the younger portion of the church group while Mark and I took a slower pace.

 After an afternoon of hiking, Mark and I took Ems to our favorite pizza joint in Marietta, Aurelio's. It's authentic Chicago pizza, and the flavor is amazing!
