Bold Little Swallow

This weekend B’s dad came to visit us and to go hiking on Mt Frissell, which is by Mt Washington in Western Mass near the tri-state border of CT, NY, and MA.  Interestingly enough, Mt Frissell is listed as the highest point in CT, but this point is measured at the slope of Mt Frissell just over the MA/CT border, because the summit of this mountain is in Mass.

It was a great day for a hike — crisp morning (from 35 degrees at 6am) warming up to nearly 70 with cool breezes.  The hike itself was great for our out-of-shape bodies, too: some challenging steep rock faces mixed in with gentler slopes, enough to make us exhausted but not wake up too sore from it.

Some photos:

A view from the hike -- and we're not at the top yet!

B checks his stock, while his dad tries to order a pizza ("What do you mean they don't deliver?!"). Can you believe we got 3-4 bars? And not just one network, either.

Fortunately B's dad was there to encourage B to have photos taken. This might be one of the under 5 photos that exist with the two of us in it -- after nearly three years, that's impressive!
