Day 209 – Look Out Below!

My mom and I were out and about today – went to breakfast, did a little shopping and whatnot on a beautiful summer day. (Vinny went to work for a bit). Anyhow, as we were bee-boppin around I was thinking out loud about what I was going to do for my intention today. I remembered that not too far from where we were there was a large wooden tower I saw a couple of months back that I wanted to stop and see what it was but I hadn’t had the time just yet.

So, today was the day. I explained to my mom that it was a huge tower, very strangely placed just off a small highway that cut through a highly wooded area. When we pulled up we marveled at the size of such a large tower placed so very randomly. (I just knew we’d have to look up the back story to this thing when we got back in the car).
We got out and started the climb. The stairs were steep and thin and I was shocked at how many there were. When we got to the top I instantly realized how much the climb was worth it! The view was spectacular. The trees, the hills, the layers of colors were simply beautiful. We snapped some pics – then my mom went down first to take some more pictures looking up at me still at the top. I know it sounds funny, but taking pics is a half the fun of all these intentions- hahaha.

When we got back in the car, as I was driving I had my mom look up the back story to this random tower. It dated back to the 1700’s and is technically called the Hannah Robinson Tower. The story was interesting actually. So with that my Saturday intention is now complete – and as Vinny is on his way back and we have plans- I am off!! Wishing all my readers a fabulous Saturday night – make the most of it- LIFE IS GOOD!! #HGAL #Cheers
