Braden and I (finally!) hiked the Wind Caves. We miss Alaska (so much it hurts!) and being in the great outdoors every day (and if not in the outdoors, we were just one scenic view away from our kitchen and living room windows). So we made and packed up some kimbap, dropped some kimbap off at our friend's place, and hauled our butts up the mountain to see these famous wind caves and have ourselves a little picnic. While we were there, I spotted a narrow cliff and I knew instantly that I wanted to climb it. Please don't ask me why because it was probably one of the dumber things I have done in life and once I set my mind to do something, I have to do it.
It was the most terrifying thing I've ever done (the whole thing was super high and as narrow as my foot is long. One strong gust and I could have tumbled hundreds of feet to my death. But as my favorite First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, advises, 'do one thing that scares you every day', right?
Braden picked me some wildflowers that grew like crazy all over the mountain. In this photo I think I'm singing 'The Hills Are Alive' from The Sound of Music (don't hate!)
They actually stayed fresh for a long time as a reminder of our fun afternoon.
