It's a Great Day to Be Alive...

So... Sunday afternoon I spent the afternoon with Garrett... talking and walking around GreenRiver Lake. This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful areas that I have ever spent time in... and spending an afternoon there just makes you want to forget about all the other cares in life. It really is a great get-away!



Our first stop at the lake took us out to the point... but since it was a beautiful day there were tons of people hanging out all around the lake. So we decided to just walk around and enjoy what the lake had to offer. We stumbled upon something that we had seen several times and had always be intrigued by... this civil war hospital. It's pretty cool actually and who would have thought that we could actually go inside of this place. So needless to say we did go inside and found that its actually really cool in there... I mean there are blood stains from civil war soldiers and everything... pretty cool and interesting to say the least! Although I must admit it is also slightly creepy... but then again what do you expect going into a building that old?



Our next adventure took us to Tebbs Bend Road (not sure on actual name, but thats close enough). Now I had been on this road once before with Garrett... except it was late at night and i feared that something could jump out at us at any given moment. However during this day... this road is quite the opposite. It is indeed one of the most beautiful areas of this country that I have ever seen... and it just so happens to be where part of the civil war was fought... how interesting right? Well... the bridge is on this road... and the picture makes it look rather pretty... however late at night, its pretty scary! Anyway... it was a great little drive and afternoon.



Now I would like to tell you that our adventure led us back to Green River Lake where we saw a beautiful sunset... however it didnt. We headed back to get some food at the caf... however we have seen a beautiful sunset and sunrise at this wonderful lake and it is much like the photograph shown here... absolutely breathtaking!

Altogether... this was a great day! Full of adventure... Fall... and Well spending time together taking in history... who could ask for more? It was indeed a great day to be alive!
