Matt & I had our first anniversary this past weekend- May 31st to be exact. I was super excited about it, looking forward to our weekend in the Black Hills with hiking, touring around the little towns, eating a nice dinner, shopping, and just relaxing. Well, we both ended up sick the morning we were planning to leave. I don't know if it was food poisoning, or just a 24 hour bug, but all of a sudden we were not well. BUT, we went on our trip anyway. It wasn't as romantic as I was dreaming of, but I guess that's life for ya! I kept telling myself that at least it'll be an anniversary to remember! Sick or not, the views were still beautiful so I wanted to share a few pictures with you all.
The drive up to Harney Peak- very twisty and turney...neat tho....
This is Sylvan Lake. It's gorgeous! While driving around down in the Southern Black Hills I kept thinking to myself- we live in such a neat place and we're so blessed to be surrounded by so much beauty! The sad thing is- I've lived here my whole life and have never even seen Sylvan Lake or Harney Peak! We didn't make it to the top by the way. This picture below is as close as we got- after hiking for a good long while. We weren't feeling too great at that point and decided to take some pictures and turn around. It still seemed SO FAR AWAY!! Can you see the lookout on top of that peak? See it? Look hard--
