It's a mountain!


Day 2: Peaks of Otter. It's a mountain! That's the first thing Sawyer said when he woke up this morning. We had arrived at the Peaks of Otter late last night when all we could see was the yellow-eyed reflection of the deer outside our window. I stayed at the same place with my family one Thanksgiving when I will in grade school. I don't think a thing has changed. There's still a slot in the bathroom tile where you are supposed to dispose of your razor blades. Justin was dismayed to find that there also isn't a tv in the room. And no cell service. No internet. I'm in heaven. This morning when we opened the curtain the beautiful ragged peak of Sharp Top Mountain was perfectly framed in the window along with a mountain lake and picturesque little bridge. We are planning to summit the mountain Sunday with the kids. It blows me away that my kids have never summited a mountain.
