For the past few birthdays, I've been going somewhere to celebrate. I'd rather so an activity than just eat dinner. So for this birthday, I went hiking!
Mt. Tammany trail near the Delaware River Gap was definitely a hike. In fact, I would like to say it was borderline rock-climbing. Crawling over the multitude of rocks and boulders has earned me my Wilderness Badge. I really want to get into hiking. I used to run in the trails of my local park for cross country but after this, nothing is comparable. Now, I want bigger, longer, and harder....trails of course. But here are the downsides: 1. Bears 2. Snakes
I think the best part of this trail was the waterfall. When I saw the waterfall, I turned into a 5 year old child in a candy store. Just shows how much I love nature. Truly a deep appreciation for it -- probably a photographer thing. I was so happy that we were able to wade in water. The super cold water felt so good on our sore muscles. Nature's ice baths for athletes. After a long day of hiking, I went to my favorite place to eat -- Sushi Palace. Well deserved all-you-can-eat sushi for a starving and tired girl.
A birthday shot exactly at 12:00am on July 6 with highschool friends over a bonfire was the perfect way to end my day. And the chocolate truffle cake was good.
Note To Self: Savor my 19th year. Because once I turn 20, I'm basically a grandma.
