Deer Creek Lake

Just came back from a quick trip to visit extended family in Ohio! Luckily even though our days were jam packed with activity, we managed to squeeze in a trip to Deer Creek state park so we could relax for a night in the cabins and enjoy the fall foliage and lake.

Deer Creek Lake was so gorgeous and the weather was absolutely perfect! We spent time walking on the numerous trails they had and really just unplugged from daily life. It's really easy for me to get all wound up with all of life's responsibilities. Work takes up a large portion of my time, and then course I want to give equal time and attention if not more to my family.

What was really funny was how prepared I felt like I needed to be for our "hike". Since I had just been to Belize and endured the hike from hell, I really overestimated what I should expect in Ohio. lol

You should have seen me, packing my bag full of water and protein bars so we would be ready for whatever the elements threw at us. But little did I know, the "hike" was really more of a walk that only lasted about 30 minutes. I laughed so hard but it was still a wonderful experience and it turned out I needed to relax and Deer Creek was exactly what my body needed to recharge.
