Tri-State Monument!!!

This is outside our front window. It says Tri-State Monument 15 miles.
A little saturday fun only 15 miles away. Why not.......?
.....Because this 4 miles turns into a 35 minutes off roading experience in our nice little car!!!
And then we see this. Where is the stinking monument???
Yeah that's right, up this huge steep hill! (this picture is taken when we were almost to the top)
Not even half way up this nice little hill!!!
I didn't expect to go hiking. Hence the shoes, or lack there of!!!
Almost to the top, stopping for a little breather!!!
Finally, we made it!!! All this for a three sided rock?!!!
This is Anya's wind-blown look!!!
As you can tell Anya is very impressed!!!
The three of us in all three states!!!

The adventure home begins....

As you can see, our sautrday fun turned out to be quite the adventure for us! I guess at least we can say we did it once, and once was plenty for all of us. It was kind of cool, once we actually got there. Maybe had we known we should have taken the truck and prepared for some hiking it would have been more enjoyable. I guess it makes for a good story and our car did make it home in one piece! That is a miracle! Oh, and by the way, just so everyone knows I am having another little baby in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
