Explorations

So far, this summer has not been as full of exploring new places as I had hoped. We did take a wonderful vacation and got to explore some new California terrain, but we haven't had much of a chance to be out and about on the home front. Earlier this week, we had a chance to head to a state recreation area about 25 minutes away..... and as soon as we got there, I couldn't believe I had never been there before. Lots of wooded trails, river access, sand to play in, and places to lose yourself (well, almost).  I currently have a 5 week break before my next term starts, and I hope to find a lot more time to explore places close to home. Where have you been exploring lately?
