Yes, it is annoying that people post stuff that no one cares about on blogs. At least ours is funny.

A Hiking We Will Go...
Hike (verb): to walk or march a great distance, esp. through rural areas, for pleasure, exercise, military training, or the like.
Urban Dictionary (just for fun, I looked it up) says:
hiking: 1. walking where it's okay to pee. 2. To crack a joke on someone or something. ex:Yo, they was hiking this dude down about his clothes. 3.A common euphemism for having sex/having an affair. This term was popularized by Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who went missing for several days and informed the public he was hiking 4. outdoors, that is, usually not on your property. This is impossible in urban areas, because being undetected is a top priority 5.when you and your girlfriend hang out in the middle of the night while naked (or the guy can wear boxers). Ex: Me and Jenny were hiking last night and it was phat.
* I didn't make these up I took the definitions, and their examples straight off the site.
wow, urban dictionary, you sure know how to ruin a word. We went hiking, in the Websters dictionary definition way, this morning. Which made me SOOOO happy because I LOOOVE to hike. I have this thing about having to get away from DC every once in a while. The NOVA/DC area can really bog you down sometimes. Too much traffic, too many people, just too much everything. One thing I really like about where I live is that a good get away is never too far away. I've been wanting to hike Old Rag all summer, but alas most of my friends work all week and I won't do longer hikes alone. Lucky for me, Becca is a good friend. Becca is a great best friend who will let me wake her up at 6:30 a.m. so that she can sit in a car and try to read my messy handwriting and bad directions. (best line of the day? Becca at 6:45 a.m. - "I love you, but I don't like you right now.") A good friend who will deal with me stopping twice to make sure I am going the right way because I am pretty sure but not 100% (I blame google maps, worst directions EVER.) A friend that will deal with me repeatedly pointing out the beautiful view. A friend who put up with swarms of bugs that kept attacking her, and some pretty nasty heat and humidity. For me, it was a great day. A good hike that wasn't hard, but wasn't so easy that I felt like I was taking a stroll, you had to work for it a bit. A good drive and plenty of singing at the top of my lungs. Bonus: lunch in a very cute little town. Minus: we could not find a dairy queen (why are they not everywhere?!).
Yay for a fun day, boo that it was probably one of my last fun times of the summer. As of Monday, I am a working girl again.

R.N.Y.C.
1. I am using my parent's computer and while I am not ashamed of anything I write on here, I really don't want to have to explain it, talk about, create blogs for my parents etc. etc.
2. I didn't really think that I had anything to share. No funny stories, just moving and trying to fit all my stuff back in the apartment already filled with stuff.
3.I am lazy.
The past few days, I have been in Florida visiting some old friends who I haven't seen for awhile. They have spawned a cute little kid with pigtails since I saw them last, moved houses, and it was great to kick back with some wine and great to catch up with them.
Most importantly, it was great that Ape took me to the Redneck Yacht Club. For those of you who do not know this song, I suggest you look it up, at least for the lyrics. The video from YouTube is basically what it looked like...except there were more muscle tees and fewer attractive people.

I met someone with a mullet and a Dale Earnhardt Jr. koozie named Darryl. He's my new boyfriend. As soon as I can figure out how to get the pictures off my camera, I will post the pics of PVC pipe anchors and fully clothed rednecks named Bo and Bud hanging out drinking Natty Light.
I felt like a cultural anthropologist.

Until You Drop

Cali, Baby, Cali
-Stockton: looks like this when you look it up on line. This is what it is really like. (read the crime section) Our hotel was on the same line as the Bates Motel. I thought we were going to get jacked in the night. Take my advice and avoid like the plague. Do not convince yourself that driving half way to Yosemite after being on a plane is smarter than just driving the whole way- in this case it was not.
-Yosemite: Is beautiful. My love of photography was on overload. Big trees, big rock formations, curvy roads. Apparently there were also bears, which we could not find anywhere. I wish there had been more time to see it all. Only downside was people everywhere.
-Gold County: is interesting. There are some cute little towns but it seems as though they haven't quiet figured out how to really make them all that interesting. The area is pretty and very peaceful, and historic.
-Bungee Jumping: is excellent. It is a total rush. Where we jumped was remote and beautiful. It was a feeling I will never forget and hope to repeat. I got a little banged up, pretty much due to user error, but nothing too bad and very worth it.
-San Francisco: is a pretty cool city. It seems like 90% of the city has an amazing view that I am admittedly jealous of. I would hate to drive/park there, no doubt about it. Although I saw so much of the city, again I wish I had had more time there.
Then came the problem of trying to decide which pictures to post here. Too many good ones, and posting pictures of the bungee were a no go. So hopefully these will do... (you have to click on the collage to really get a good look)
So, all in all, I give California an A. Bungee jumping definitely A++++. Now I just have to figure out what adventure to tackle next...
