Our Easter Sunday...

Well first we went to buy more plants because we have become obsessed! We got 2 more plants (one for the back deck and one more for our bedroom). Then we just decided to drive...



The weather wasn't really that great today (cloudy and only 22 degrees...I actually found it cold and wished I had brought a sweater!). Our drive took us in a new direction that we haven't been in yet. There were so many cute little towns. This one was proud to be "the town of yesteryear"...



We stopped at an antique store and then drove up this HUGE mountain. The road was crazy! It was so windy and literally there was nothing but cliff on either side of the road, which was also super narrow! I couldn't believe that there were no guard rails! Okay so this pic has a guardrail, but really, most of the drive didn't!



The drive up the mountain was very steep...



There were lots of signs saying to watch out for kangaroos but unfortunately we didn't see any. It's my goal to see a wild kangaroo...



Anyway, there were a couple of really cool look-offs at the top, which had great views. These pics really don't do the view justice...





We also stopped at a lake...



...and Steve saw a big black snake. I didn't see it but I heard it slithering away. Steve said it was at least 4 feet and at least a good 4 inches wide. I think it's best I didn't see it. I like not knowing what lives out there! Steve was pretty excited to see it though!



After our afternoon of driving and exploring, we came home and had a lovely Easter dinner...



Yup...that's right...we had tacos for Easter dinner! Maybe it'll be our new tradition!

Happy Easter everyone! We really miss you all and hope you're having a great weekend! Love ya!

Man that post cracked me up. It was such a good play by play. It was like a story during story time in elementary school. Especially when Steve was excited about the snake and then it shows a pic of him. Ha ha ha! Love it!
