Before the wedding reception

The wedding reception was going to be in the evening so we had the day to explore.

See the window cleaner?

We had lunch at a park with Jason's family and some of Mindy and Jason's friends.

 We went to Mount Falcon Park to do some hiking.

 John Brisben Walker, (1847-1931) a magazine publisher and automobile businessman, built a house on Mt. Falcon in 1909.

The house was struck by lightning and destroyed in 1918.

This reminds me of Psalm 121
         I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
                        where does my help come from?
2            My help comes from the Lord,
                        the Maker of heaven and earth.

 

 We were so thirsty after the hike!  There was no water fountain around!  Our water bottles were empty.  We began driving down the mountain and found this place.

Not a McDonalds, but a MacNation!  We stopped for some wonderful, ice cool water!   Next time, we will try to remember to bring more water with us!
