Family Road Trip 2010: Part 4

We got to New York Tuesday and spent the night in Queensbury. This town is so cute because it's really small and located in a valley.
Back on the road we were driving through Lake George (another adorable little town) when my dad saw a sigh that said we could drive up the mountain and stop at various lookouts. It turned out to be really cool. We drove up and stopped at the first lookout where we took a TON of pictures. Here are some of them.

Climbing a "cliff" at lookout number one

Mom on our "cliff" at the first lookout. I know you can't see Mom very well, but i thought the way the sun looked behind the rocks was great.

When we were almost to the top of the mountain, we walked up the trail and feasted our eyes on the view. It may not be the deepest valley or the highest mountain, but it made me happy just the same.


All of us on the top of Prospect Mountain.


Picture I took of Kris

After we enjoyed the lookouts and walk, we climbed back aboard our conversion van and headed back down the mountain. That's when I felt the need to find a scripture to describe how I felt. It didn't take long to find the perfect verse.
Psalm 125:2 "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore."
That's how I felt when we were in the valley surrounded by trees; like God is surrounding me and that no matter where I go, He will always be around me.
I'm so glad that God saw it fit to surround us with beauty.

In Him,
Tiffany Raye

  1. Wow! This is so weird! When we were driving through the mountains in Utah, my mom recited that EXACT SAME verse to us! Apparently God knew we both needed to hear it! :) awesome......
