Our first solo hike

Vin and I headed out on a lovely, sunny day for our first solo hike (a hike without Andi to guide us) and we got in a good 3 hour trip in the Vienna woods.

Well look at him...cool as a cucumber. Too cool to smile, apparently.
 It was about 11 when we headed out. It is about a 45 minute tram trip to the beginning of the trail and about a 2 hour or 2.5 hour hike/walk. A bit up, a bit down with cute little play areas and a couple of great restaurants at the top.

Vinny wasn't too huge of a fan once we got to the 2 hour point, but then eventually fell asleep. Thank God.

Us on the trail.
 We will try to keep it up and explore new trails on our own. We feel so brave, and a bit vulnerable when we are out there alone, but I imagine we will build strength and courage over time.

Finally...he sleeps.
A bit of the experience for you.

  1. You two are awesome hikers, especially Vinny. He understands how it's done. I was quite surprised when I learned you put him the big Kibuba backpack, since it was just a day before we decided he was still too small to fit in there.
