Turtle Lake

This weekend was a little more laid back than last mainly because we got out household items in and are trying to settle in.  Despite unpacking we did want to get out of the house and continue to explore the area.

In the city we live pretty close to a steep hill and on top there is a small lake.  Georgians and expats alike flock to the lake to get away for the day or utilize the running path.  We decided to make our lap around it and headed up there Saturday morning.

The lake itself is really nice but I honestly expected there to be more there than there was.  We enjoyed making the circle and I can see how it would be great for exercise!  We did find yet another playground and Mara got an opportunity to get out and enjoy going down the slide a few times.

On the end of our loop we stopped into one of the cafes for a light lunch on the water.  Overall it was a nice morning and I'm glad we got up and explored it.  I see us returning there when we're looking for an easy walk and also exploring some of the more difficult hiking paths when we are wanting something a bit more strenuous.
