The Last Hoorah


Being the adventurous and brave 8-months-pregnant wife that she is, Jenny and I decided to have one last hoorah before baby Haller is born in a month or so(!) Inspired by the movie The Last of the Mohicans, we headed to Chimney Rock State Park to see some of the sights where the movie was filmed, as well as some awesome views from the top of Chimney Rock. After two hours of an uncomfortable ride for pregzilla, we went up winding, steep roads leading to the park entrance. We hiked a few different trails, climbed many steps and boardwalks, and enjoyed views from the top. We concluded the trip by hiking to a waterfall, and left wondering why so many families thought bringing a stroller on a bumpy, steep trail was a good idea!?

Jenny wanted to let everyone know that on the way home, I was snorezilla! I look forward to many more adventures with Jenny and the baby in the backpack.
