Joshua's goal for this summer was to GET OUTDOORS, and he has taken me along on some good hikes. We found a website that essentially talked about making sure you prioritize those activities that will help to refresh your soul, and for Josh, it includes being outdoors.
So, here's the summary of the hikes we've done:
Little Si
Tiger Mountain
Mt. Si
A glacier on Mt. Rainier
A few other random trails
Something that I find a little strange is that you can hear the interstate no matter how far into the trail you've hiked. Josh theorized that electric cars might cut down on the sound, but the noise of moving parts can't really be eliminated. I think that's just part of hiking near the city. The great thing is that most of the hikes were only 1 hour away. Very accessible.
I have really enjoyed the fact that Josh works for REI now, because he knows all sorts of random information about proper clothing to wear when we go hiking. Maybe next summer we'll get new shirts or something so you can tell that we went on several hikes and wore different "outfits" rather than simply looking like we did all of this in one day.
Josh has had the opportunity to go on a few more trainings for REI hosted by different clothing companies, so he comes back each day with a new "favorite" brand. I think we've settled on what we'll purchase, so we'll be debuting our clothes soon!
