Our 10 mile hike that turned into 6.2

On our last day in Georgia, we decided to finally pull ourselves away from the tube after many hours of real, live cable. Did you hear that? Cable! After living a year without it, it's basically a luxury.

Anyway, near my Mom's house, there is Kennesaw Mountain, which, come to find out, is actually a national battlefield, complete with cannons!

Though what was supposed to be a 10 mile hike actually ended up being only 6.2.
Partly because I'm extremely out of shape.
Mostly because I was starving.
So there you have it.

It was a pretty successful hike though, minus me falling down and twisting my ankle.
Did I fall from jumping down from a rock? No.
Did I fall from walking too fast in the treacherous battle grounds? No.
I fell from slipping on the stupid leaves. The leaves!
It wouldn't have been nearly as bad except for the two hikers behind me who were there to witness my ugly and embarrassing fall.
And I'm not talking a little 'oops, I slipped!' kind of fall. I'm talking all the way down to the ground kind of fall. You know the kind.
Needless to say, we quickly let them pass us so I could sulk in peace.

It's only been about 3 hours since we finished and I can already feel my glutes cramping up.
Success!
Hopefully we got enough energy out today to make us tired for a very long and very tiring day of travel tomorrow.
Tomorrow! Spain! Say whaaaat? Seriously. How is this day here already?

Wish us luck as we face 6 hours in Newark and officially begin our international travels!
Whoo hoo!
