Welcome back to the Cinco de Mayo edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures.
This week, we started out early... VERY EARLY! At 4am on Saturday morning, my brother Donald and I decided to hike Barn Island so that I can meet everyone else later that day. We hiked around the entire parameter of Barn Island 3 times in about 1 1/2 hours! Amazing! Here's the picture to prove it!
And as we were coming out of the woods Sof, Rob, and Deb came to join us! We then did another 3 laps! This time in 1 1/4 hours! :-)
Then it was time for breakfast. We all drove to Norwich and had some scrambled eggs and sausage on the grill, with Erica.
Then after breakfast, we took the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry...
And then hiked about 10 more miles along the Mattabesett Trail.
Then, we all decided to join Mark at his private beach for some sun and some fun...
After our rest, we conquered Chatfield Hollow, and did another 10 miles. What a day!
We then met Cris and Butch for a hike up Lantern Hill.
And then we hiked up Castle Craig. Can you believe it?
Then we drove up to Maine to join Maureen and Brian at Acadia National Park to climb Cadillac Mountain.
We all then flew to Greece and had lunch on board the cruise ship, The Norwegian Jewel. Lunch was great! They even had Starbucks setup for us, all special, just for us!
Oh, yeah. I almost forgot... after lunch, a soak in the hotub, and some dinner, Deb and I got married in the ship's chapel on deck 15.
And now here's a look at the wedding party...
Then we all danced in celebration till the wee hours of the evening...
By the time we got back home it was way past midnight, but we still had some energy left in us to enjoy some smores by the grill. What a day! :-)
Oh yeah... BTW... Happy Birthday Jody!
See everyone next week!
