Hiking in Wales

During the last weekend in April, we decided to take a quick trip to Wales. We found a dog-friendly bed and breakfast in Snowdonia National Park, and decided to stay a couple of nights. We have been wanting to hike Mt. Snowdon (the highest peak in Wales, standing at 3,560 ft) for a while now, and we were fortunate enough to have clear weather! We went with our friends Ed and Mary.

We were a bit worried about how Cooper would handle the hike, but he was a champ! We made it to the top, and by the time we made it back down to the bottom, Coop still had enough energy to chase some sheep for about a mile and a half! Below are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip, and you can see some more on Facebook by clicking here.

We just HAD to stop the car to take a picture here. So pretty!

At the very top!

All three of us at the top!

Nice view, eh? I've been told we were extremely lucky to make it to the top on a clear day!
