On Saturday we traveled to Lyndhurst to visit the New Forest (www.thenewforest.co.uk). It's a HUGE forest just outside of Southampton where you can do a variety of outdoor activities. This being our first time in the forest, we opted for a walk. We bought a map of the forest, found a walking trail near by and set off. The night before I was reading up on the forest and was really excited to see the wild ponies they have in the forest. Since they're wild it's hard to say where they might be so when we went on Saturday I hoped we might stumble upon some, and WE DID! We saw 6 of the New Forest Ponies just wondering around, eating as they pleased. We walked and wondered and eventually found our way back to the car park.

Today (Sunday) we walked around the Southampton Common, fed the ducks and envied all the people with dogs. So naturally I want a dog now. After that we really didn't want to stay cooped up in the house so we went to a place called Calshot. It's right on the coast just south of Southampton. We walked along the coast taking artsy pictures and enjoying the ocean.

I don't think i've walked so much in one weekend and in three different places, but it was fun!
