A New Hobby AND OUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT!!

Usually before Ryan and I move to a new place we research the poop out of it.

A coworker of mine got us started hiking here and I'm so glad she did! Thanks Karen! These pictures are from our hike on Monday in Gunpowder Falls State Park.

In order to keep this from getting super long and boring I'll just dump my favorite photos from the week. I'll also include photos from our trip to Gettysburg at the end of her stay. The leaves were already starting to change in Pennsylvania so it was absolutely beautiful! I can't wait for it to look that here in Baltimore. The White House!
