A Little Exploring

Finally this weekend Kyle and I will get to spend some quality time together. He has a few meetings on Saturday but Sunday his day is open and I knew I wanted to do something fun. We haven't spent much time outdoors so we are going to venture out to the Kisatchie National Forest and do some hiking.


How beautiful is this?! There are several trails and we are opting for the 7 mile trail, it intersects with 3 others so we can choose to go for longer if we want. I am excited to start checking off things from our bucket list of things we want to do here. With how much he works we don't get much time together to just explore. We are going to bring food for a picnic and get lost (well not really because I just bought him this fancy Garmin that he uses for work lol). 

It's possible that he could have Monday off so I am planning fun for that day too haha. There is a cute little town about an hour from us called Natchitoches (this is where Steel Magnolias was filmed and where the real family lived). It's the oldest town in Louisiana and has adorable shops, plantations, and gorgeous views of the river. 


We went for the Christmas Festival last year and I have been wanting to go back since then. Here's hoping that the weather cooperates.

I know some time together will do us both a lot of good and I am really looking forward to it.

  6. Hiking is so much fun. I don't want to think about a 7 mile hike because I almost died on the 2.2 hike with Andy this weekend!

  15. I had no idea Natchitoches was the oldest town in LA! We used to go there all the time while we were at Polk. Did you go to Momma's? They are so nice and the food is amazing! Don't forget they do a huge Christmas festival!
