To test our fortitude, we camped a night in Cunningham Falls State Park. Within the first hour, our foray was nearly derailed by an over-excited three-year-old stumbling over a tree root - although some unexpected grace stifled the impact of eye-on-rock, reducing it to a reasonable bruise - and a good lesson was learned: do not run on the trail. Otherwise, we experienced the internal conflict of watching your child climb a twenty-foot boulder: trying (and failing) to balance the wish of freedom with the responsibilities of being someone else's parent...
After a surprisingly restful and cozy sleep, we enjoyed a beautiful hike to Cunningham Falls and a feeling of success.
