OLD BUT GOLD

Ever since I was a little girl my whole family would take trips up to the Adirondack Mountains to visit my great-aunt Beth. Being in this very small town where everybody knew each other was always so much fun. My Aunt's house is so cute, it's wood with a screened in porch and it has a huge garden in the backyard and also an outdoor shower which is amazing. Everyday we do something fun and outdoorsy there weather it's going to buttermilk falls, which is a waterfall and the water looks like buttermilk, or hiking up Blue Mountain, or fishing, or going to johnny's dock, or just simply sitting on the porch eating appetizers, it doesn’t matter we always have fun. Although everything is fun, my favorite thing to do there is probably hiking. I love hiking because on the way up it's fun to talk with your family and see some of the wildlife and also enjoy the view of the trees, and to top all of that off, at the top you get an amazing view of all of the other mountains and trees, it’s so beautiful. Unfortunately now we don't get to go as often because it’s far away and everyone's older and it is hard to make the time. Even though I would love to be able to go multiple times a year, not being able to do it makes me appreciate the Adirondacks so much more and makes me do everything I can to have the best time everytime I go.
