Ricketts Glen State Park

It's starting to look very fall-ish out here in PA! Eli and I spent all day yesterday at Ricketts Glen State Park. The park is about an hour drive east of us. It was such a nice drive, we drove through a few farm towns that were cute and the fall colors were really coming out. We joked that on the drive home it got even more fall-ish. Lots of reds and oranges, very pretty. The day started off a little cool and cloudy, perfect for hiking. Ricketts Glen is known for having 20 or so natural waterfalls. We took part of a trail that went by several of them--the tallest one was 94 feet! The hiking was pretty intense, you are literally climbing down rock stairs right next to the falls. There was a family of like six in front of us that had to take a picture at every.single.one. We finally skirted around them so it was just us on the trail--it was so fun and relaxing. I love the sound of running water. We're going to go back again after the leaves start changing because the experience will be totally different. Honestly, the waterfalls were so big and beautiful you forgot you were in PA--it felt more like Hawaii (minus the coconut trees) 

My first night shift went well--although I remember why I switched to days. I work another one tomorrow, but then I don't work nights for the entire next schedule. Eli and I are starting to get excited because next week we head on our first overnight trip to Delaware.
