  Even more pictures!  I'm going to spoil you guys... 

  I went hiking yesterday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day- and I just couldn't stay inside anymore...  Plus, it'd been almost a month since I was out on the trails. (not including the awesome day of mountain biking with Ross!)  I went to my favorite park right up the road, but decided to try out a trail I'd never done before.

  And at first, I thought I'd made a bad decision...  It felt a bit like I was hiking through a gerbil cage.  Very flat, and covered with cedar chips.

  

  

  I'm into the more "natural" trails... and this definitely didn't start out that way.  But then I got exactly what I wanted- and then some:

  

  One of the best views out there. 

  

  And a self-portrait with the view.

  

  It actually turned into a great hike.  Yeah- it started out slow, but maybe that was a good little warm up?  And then after awhile, I was basically spelunking... and then it tapered off again toward the end. 

  Now, the best part of the hike was definitely my outfit.   I didn't mean to look so awesome- it just kinda happened.  I got these new capris the other day- and wanted to try them out.  And I just had to wear my awesome hiking boots!  But I guess I didn't really think about how they'd look together.  And add in the super cute hiking socks-- voila!

  

  I did see a few other hikers out there- and I'm sure they were all thinking "Man, that girl knows how to dress!" 

   

  Then last night, Mom, Dad & I all headed out shopping.   First stop- Bass Pro Shop.  I've been looking for a new coat- and I needed to try them on before getting one online (hopefully cheaper).  Well, I ended up finding the PERFECT coat right there in the store last night! 

  

  Isn't it beautiful??  It's a $190 coat, and I got it for $86.  Good deal? I think yes. 

  See- I wanted this particular coat because it's basically 3 coats in one.  It has the zip-out liner (which can be worn as a light jacket), the outer shell (a rain coat), or they can be worn together as a heavy coat.  It'll be great for Africa!  I'll be down in the southern part of Africa- which can get pretty chilly.

  Ok- then my favorite picture of the day.

  

  Dad & I found these fun chairs at Bed Bath & Beyond.  Quite luxurious...
