we spent a day at chimney rock state park, named after a 535-million-year-old monolith shaped like, well, a chimney! young and old, we trudged our way up step by step.


at 2280 feet high, we were rewarded with wonderful views at the top.

in the afternoon, while rebecca took her nap with the grandparents, the rest of us went for a second hike to hickory nut falls.

The family picture at the top of Chimney Rock turned out really well. Fun day for all.
