When we were on vacation we would drive up to the top of a big mountain and watch the sun set. One evening my husband left his jacket and went back up early morning to get it with our son. They watched the sun rise and my 8 year old son thought it was the best!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653157038282170244.post-49083861897522243722012-06-22T08:26:55.771-04:002012-06-22T08:26:55.771-04:00That sunrise was worth the climb.

Then I would be so exhausted I would sleep late and miss the whole thing. But that wouldn't matter because it would probably be raining anyway. Not that I am a pessimist!<br />Beautiful pictures. I'm off to listen to the whip-poor-will.
