If you got the idea from the title that we did a lot of stuff this past weekend, you are absolutely right. In the hiking group I lead, we encourage people to become hike leaders. Part of that process requires that they organize and lead a couple of events with our help. This time, I helped Laurie organize this weekend that she decided to pack with multiple adventures. First we drove to the coast and did a hike to Harts Cove. This is a promontory that overlooks the ocean. It’s a short/easy hike to a beautiful meadow where, weather permitting, you can sit, relax, have a bite and enjoy the view, which we did. She even opened this event for dogs so we had plenty of four legged friends. After the hike, part of the group headed back home while with the others we went to a nice restaurant to have diner. From there, Laurie took some of us (the overnighters) to the aquarium where she is a volunteer diver. She gave us a behind the scenes tour and took us up to the diving platform. That night was the Halloween party so not only visitors were dressed up but divers were also wearing costumes and diving in the tanks with all the little critters. Once Laurie went in, we went down to take pictures from the other side. It was packed with people but we had a great time. Later that night, back at the bed&breakfast where we stayed right in front of the beach, we got in the hot tub to soak for a while. I guess it doesn’t get much better than that. On Sunday we had a great breakfast and then headed out for another adventure. We stopped at a place to rent Kayaks and went paddling for a while. For me it was a real adventure. Although I’ve been in kayaks and canoes before, I’ve never done it with Shia. It took me a while to get her in the boat but after a while she was fine and even falling asleep while I was doing all the work. In the pictures you’ll see we had amazing weather conditions considering it’s the end of October, and we certainly took advantage of it.
