My favorite thing to do when I'm visiting my parents is take a walk alone. There aren't many places I think are more beautiful than that area of Massachusetts (I'd even put it before Hawaii and Fiji). But the past few visits I haven't been able to go any walks because of weather or pregnancies so I was thrilled to get out a couple of times this visit (thanks to balmy weather and an awesome husband). One late afternoon, Jake asked to go with me. I can't say no to that little face so I put down my iPod an bundled him up for what I thought would be a 10 minute walk. But he loved it! And he's only 3, but you could tell he really appreciated it. He commented on how quiet it was, how big the sky was, and how many trees there were. He was a little thrown off by not being able to 'go around the block,' the lack of sidewalks, and how 'big the piles of kitty poop' were (horse crap). An hour and a half later we were making our way home in the pitch black. One of my favorite memories of this trip.
