She walked ahead of us down the trails, which were blanketed with pretty fall leaves:
That meant Mama Geek and I enjoyed the relatively rare pleasure of holding each other's hands, rather than Geek Girl's hands, which made the hike extra nice for us.
We went up one of the side trails, and then linked up with a main trail alongside the creek itself. It certainly lives up to the name:
We also found a hollowed-out tree trunk alongside the trail -- watch out for wild dragons!
Geek Girl also was happy to meet several dogs and a horse along the way. She gathered many acorns for her nature collection, and "planted" a bunch as well. After an hour or so, we stopped for a snack along the creek and then headed back to the car and off to one of our favorite restaurants, A&J in Annandale (spicy wontons, potstickers, and soup dumplings - yum!), for lunch. All in all, a very nice Sunday outing.
