This weekend we went hiking for Kyle's birthday!  We headed up to hike Old Rag

I had never done this hike before but loved all the super tall trees!

This weekend was perfect for the hike since the trees are right in the midst of changing; which also meant LOADS of people

Alex and I reached what we thought was the summit...boy were we wrong!

 It sure was pretty though

We decided to eat some lunch and then get in line (yes, get in line) to finish the hike

I had never waited in line for a hike before.  Turns out there are some tricky rock scrambles that most of these people shouldn't even be attempting...but they do, and in turn, you end up waiting at least an hour for a hike that should take 15 minutes.

I took some pictures while we waited

But then we made it, and it was so worth it!

We met up with our group and even tossed around the football!

Check out the bird

More awesome tall trees on the hike down

I love this

And here's the foyer of the house we stayed in at Massanutten!  Awesome house that sleeps like 15

Completely unrelated but here's the door almost finished.  The red is super bright but since it's set back under our front porch, it's hardly noticeable from the street.  What do you think?
