Take a "Hike"

On Sunday, we took the girls to the Salmon River State Forest in Colchester, which is a great state park practically in our backyard.  They really love walking the trails and Elizabeth, especially, proved to have great stamina for hiking.  The Salmon River State Forest is home to the Comstock Covered Bridge, one of only three covered bridges in Connecticut and the only one still carrying its own weight with the original timber structure.  It was a beautiful sight from down below, at the side of the river, and up above.  Our first family hike was a success and I'm sure that we'll be taking more soon.
