This past summer I returned from a family vacation to York, PA where we stayed in Gifford Pinchot State Park. The campground has become one of my families favorite escapes. There's hiking, kayaking, campfires, fireflies, big rocks and lots of nature.
A couple of the mornings my husband and I went kayaking for a few hours by ourselves. The lake had a circumference of 8 miles and I think we just about covered every nook and cranny of the lake. Although, it is hard work, it's also very relaxing. It works the muscles and clears the mind. I have to admit I could have used a good massage after I was done!
There's just something special about spending time in the great outdoors. Life can be so busy and overwhelming that we forget to enjoy it. I enjoy trying to pay attention to every detail of nature I can find. I stare at the trees, the rocks, small animals wandering, little bugs swimming on the water, and mysterious objects that I find. I often think of years gone by and wonder what it was like back then at this park. I also try and remember my adventures once I am back in the day to day routine, so when everything gets crazy I can remember the little part of the great outdoors I experienced.
Its summer time, let me encourage you to find a way to relax and enjoy a bit of nature!
