Birthday Bash in the Woods

For an excellent birthday adventure, mix equal parts day hike, mountain vista, waterfall, and happy marriage. Stir until consistency is firmly set in memory. More or less, this was the recipe for our getaway for my birthday, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

The day began with a meal fit for a king, or at least his stable boy. I opened my gift, and I was elated to receive a wine guide (fun coffee table reading) and a bottle of Irish Cream. Delicious! Both gifts were perfect in that they show how Megan knows me well, and because they’re gifts that I would never actually get for myself.

We then proceeded to the Pisgah National Forest, to see what adventures awaited. Though it was a little warm, we enjoyed a nice 6.2 mile hike up to Looking Glass Peak and a very refreshing swim at the bottom of Looking Glass Falls. Very simple, yet eminently enjoyable, this was a birthday to remember well.
