First, we headed to Eno River State Park for a morning hike. Parking at the Fews Ford access to the park, we first hiked the Cox Mountain Trail up and over its namesake and then along the river. There were a lot of mountain laurel blooming along the river.
Then we crossed back over the suspension bridge and hiked the Buckquarter Creek Trail. There were still lots of wildflowers blooming along the river.
Coreopsis and fire pink were adding some color to the river.
It was pretty hot and humid by the time we finished but we missed all the rain storms.
Heading back to Raleigh, we had lunch and then took Alex to Goodberry's for an ice cream cone.
Especially on a hot day, ice cream was a perfect treat to celebrate his birthday.
