There is no way I can do justice to this day with a few pictures, which themselves don't do justice to our experience, but I feel like I need to commemorate our outing nonetheless. We chose to go to The Birks of Aberfeldy as an afterthought, really. We had previously explored much of the area, and we already had a dinner reservation in Aberfeldy, so we thought, "Why not?" But, Oh! what a treat awaited us! It was one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever taken, with a multitude of waterfalls, an abundance of fall color, and some amazing vistas. I'm pretty sure this is what happiness looks like!
After hiking for a couple hours in the cold, we were glad to settle in at The Croft restaurant, to warm up with a delicious meal, a fantastic wine, and several fabulous desserts. It was a truly wonderful day!
