To celebrate the holiday and our 1.5 year anniversary, we ventured to the wilds of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania in the Pocono Mountains (about a two hour drive from Philly). On the other side of the "mountains" there was snow ... lots of it!
We stayed at a cute bed and breakfast (The Hillcrest) and spent Saturday hiking up the Glen Onoko Falls. Three beautiful waterfalls on the way up a steep and snowy trail. Really awesome to see the ice formations. We also enjoyed a fancy dinner of local farm-to-table fare at FLOW restaurant, which was built OVER part of the Lehigh River and includes a great view through a special window hole in the wall/floor. Neat!
Sunday, we did what any couple does during a romantic getaway: shoot other people with paint-filled pellets! Paintballing was great. Things we learned: Joshua is great at getting into position while Laura is a good sharp-shooter. All-in-all a fun day lookin' mean. We even look mean while taking a lunch break.

I was really intimidated by this photo until I realized Laura had bird poop on her knee and Josh was eating a homemade sandwich.
You hit the nail on the head Emily ... all the paintballs explode into a patch of white bird poop, which makes the whole thing even more silly.
I had to wear my face mask in this picture because I'm not capable of making a mean face. I look more pirate-with-bad-eyesight than intimidating.
