Day 33 of Florida

Hey!! I actually did something today! If you read my previous post, you'd know that I went hiking today.

I got ready to go around 8 in the morning until having my uncle pick me up in his big red truck. There was Jill, Jaylee and Waffles; the Chihuahua!! We went up this Mountain called Little Si Mt. There's the regular Mt. Si and the Little Mt. Si. Little Mt. Si was a TREK! I can't wait to do Mt. Si. 32,000 feet going up and down; that's how giant Mt. Si is.

Jill had a bummed out knee. So, instead of waiting, Jaylee and I hiked to the summit. The hike took us about 4 hours - 2 hours up, 2 hours back. It was a GORGEOUS day!! But chilly. I wore a LOT of layers. I know what mountain air feels like... And it doesn't feel like a day at the beach.

I've been deprived of hiking! Since my uncle is going to Alaska this August, he wants to get in a few more hikes so he can be prepared. He's going to Alaska for hunting season. He doesn't need any practice on his hunting skills. He's been hunting since I was a young girl! Him and my grandpa.

After the long "walk," we went to eat at a local diner called North Bend Bar & Grill. Not only did I recognize my mom's old high school friend, but the food was DELICIOUS!!!!

... I know the friend has nothing to do with food... Yet, still. I was amazed I even recognized her. I didn't walk up to her though. She probably wouldn't remember me. We've only met once while my mom and I were shopping at Staples a year ago.

Anyway, ABOUT THE FOOD... I stuffed myself with a pound of butter-soaked clams with a side of onion rings and ranch dip. MAN was that food good... I know where to go NOW whenever Mason and I begin doing hikes ourselves!!!

By the way, Mason and I are doing better. We just had a couple things to get off of our chest. And, being adults, we talked it out with one another instead of going off and complaining to someone else about it.

Right now, I'm playing the new TOMB RAIDER game that Mason had purchased me. It... is... INTENSE!!! My WORD do I LOVE IT!!!! Lara is sooooo badass for a 21 year old girl in the middle of the wilderness!!! She's BEAUTIFUL!! Such realism!!! I love graphics... They can turn a pixelated hero into a fantasy within 40 years. Superb.

Okay!! Got to go fight off more bad guys!! I'll see you tomorrow, though. :) Take care.
