<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We enjoyed a wonderful fall hike this past weekend relishing in what might be the last warm day of the season. <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">J</span></strong> and I have always enjoyed spending the weekends hiking and enjoying nature, always with our dog in tow, and I absolutely love that we have continued this beloved tradition with our boys.</span> </div>
