The week before last I travelled with my family to the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, where my dad’s family lived. We’ve spent a week or two there every August since I was little, but this summer, we moved our trip earlier to attend my cousin’s wedding. (Congrats Emily and Nate!)

One of my favorite parts of visiting the Adirondacks is watching the sunrise from Saint Regis Mountain, and this year was no exception. The swirling fog on the lakes and ponds below is different every single day, and always stunning.

We also got up to plenty of other fun during the week we were there. One afternoon Adam and Becca and I headed out to check out the sport climbing near Chapel Pond, and watched the sunset over the Giant’s Washbowl.

On Tuesday Becca and I went for a very pleasant hike in the AMR with my aunt and uncle and parents. By coincidence, the hike we picked took us up and over Indian Head and down to Gill Brook, which is one of the very first trips I ever did with Becca, almost ten years ago. On that trip, only a few days after we first met, a random woman on the trail asked if we wanted a photo of the two of us. The adorably awkward photo she took of us is the very first photo we have of us together, and so, on this trip, we decided to recreate it!
