Billy Goats

Saturday we hiked one of my favorite local trails.  One of the things I enjoy most about the D.C area is that despite living amidst 5 million people there is plenty of green space to enjoy.  The trail is aptly named the Billy Goat Trail because it is a rocky boulder covered path.  I was reticent to take JAC on the trail because I feared he was too little for all of the climbing.  My fears proved completely unfounded.  JAC loved every minute of the rocky trail and eagerly scaled boulders without hesitation.  JAC didn't want any help.  He wanted to climb on his own and he impressed our fellow hikers with his climbing abilities.  When we finally made it back to the car he looked like a little dust devil - covered head to toe in trail dirt.  The beautiful fall weather and the great scenery made for the perfect afternoon.
