A couple hundred yards from our house is an old dirt road that used to lead to a resort restaurant. It has been closed for years and is now overgrown and crazy but you can still see the markings of the old road.
It's so mysterious and pretty so we decided to take a page out of a Nicholas Sparks book (more like me. Jordan's brain doesn't work that way) and take a romantic walk to see where it took us.
After walking through a tunnel of trees, it opened up and lead us to a small stone bridge that went over a tiny creek. Josie of course went straight down to the creek to splash around for a bit while Jordan and I stayed close behind taking in the scenery.
The walk was gorgeous and unreal. We felt like we were in a romantic comedy (I say romantic comedy because my husband is the one that finds a funny shaped rock and makes dirty comments about it).
But, reality romance doesn't always match movie romance.
After our beautiful walk, we got home and immediately found hundreds (yes - actually hundreds) of tiny ticks ALL over us. The next two hours were spent quickly bathing Josie and ourselves along with taking tweezers to each other.
It looked a lot like this...
I don't remember Noah and Ali spending the night picking ticks off of each other after their romantic strolls?
I guess Nicholas Sparks moments don't always happen like they do in the books/movies. Ah. At least we tried!
Have a wonderful weekend!
