Another Great Date

Last night we drove up to the Blackwater State Park. It's so fun to have pinetrees and foresty-like places one weekend, and the beach another. Anyway, we had an awesome little hike around the Blackwater River, and saw all sorts of wildlife! John was a bit more adventureous than I was at first. The sign at the start of the trail made me more scared for my life than excited to see nature. But it wore off (a tiny tiny bit).







The banana spiders brought it all back. They were huge! And right above you on the trail so you had to watch your head as you walked under them (well, at least I did!) . Bekah (my little sister), you would NOT have had a good time. It was really cool to see them working on their webs, though. John threw a twig in one, and the spider crawled over and worked it out and dropped it to the ground. It was cool!










Can you see the 2 animals in the picture below? (This is my own version of Magic-Eye)



After our hike, we got cleaned up and went to dinner at a local Mexican favorite. It was fantastic. I tried Horchata -- it's a rice, milk, nutmeg drink. It was interesting, but good. We had so much fun. And to top the night off, we rented Season 3 of The Office and watched a few episodes! It was a perfect night!
