       In October, My mom, Natalie and I took a girls trip to Hocking Hills, Ohio for my moms birthday. We left on a Monday morning and it took us about 1hr and 45min from Dayton. Natalie was so excited to see our cabin even though we couldn't check in till 3. We went to check it out before doing any hiking or getting lunch. We stayed in the Ridgeback cabin through  Cabins By The Cave . It was beautiful on the outside because it was surrounded by an array of orange, red and yellow trees.       After we checked out the cabin, we decided to take a short hike and then grab lunch. We drove over to  Cantwell Cliffs  to hike along the cliff floor. The trail is about a 1/2 mile with views of the cliffs above you. Right at the beginning of the hike, you go down a steep set of stairs called The Fat Women's Squeeze.    The Fat Women's Squeeze The Fat Women's Squeeze        You then can squeeze between where...

This summer we went on many hikes. One of our favorites was hiking at Indian Mound Reserve in Cedarville, Ohio. There are steps that lead you down to the creek and a trip before we had heard you could swim. Natalie could wait to go back. This trip we meet some friends, Isla and Addy for a little stroll and splashing in the creek. I'm pretty sure the girls had a blast. We can't wait to go back next season and spend the day. I will for sure bring water shoes next time!
