canyonwalkerI've written before that some of our weekends are fast (busy/packed) and others are slow (little to do/relaxing). This past weekend was both.
Our day trip to Zim Zim Falls on Saturday was awesome. It's exactly the kind of thing we've been waiting weeks to do. Finally this past weekend the right opportunity appeared, with good weather and us having an open schedule. We even thought about doing two hiking trips this weekend. Yes, the forecast had great looking weather on tap both days.
Saturday morning Hawk had suggested, "I thought we were going to do this other hike today and Zim Zim tomorrow."
"Let's do Zim Zim today in case we're wrecked afterwards," I countered. "That gives us the option of just resting up tomorrow."
I was glad we did because Sunday morning we were wrecked. Oh, Saturday night we were still a bit optimistic. We were tired coming home from Zim Zim but imagined that we might feel better in the morning. We even had time to soak in the hot tub Saturday night and relax back in the house. I even found time to blog the trip with 5 videos— the same day! I could see us feeling better enough to do another few miles of hiking on Sunday.
Yeah, no. We're not 40 anymore. We slept in 'til almost 10 on Sunday and were stiff when we got up. All we wanted to do was take it easy. But that was fine because we had nothing on the calendar for the day. We ate lunch at a favorite spot, did a bit of shopping, and came back to putter around the house for the rest of the afternoon. As busy as Saturday was, Sunday was un-busy. And we liked it.
