This weekend was a great weekend! On Saturday, Jason hung out with his friend, and I got the entire house to myself. I slept in, and lazed around until he got home. When he arrived, it was time to play racquetball. After the amazing game (for once it was close), we had pizza and mojitos on the balcony. Too bad the pizza mad us very sick! It effected me almost instantly, and Jason the next day. We think Mickey even snuck some pizza, because he was sick all Sunday.

Sunday, we slept in (we never do this, we're always on the go) until 11! We had a nice relaxing breakfast and headed out on our day trip to hunt for waterfalls. We love this website: http://www.waterfallswest.com/. It gives exact directions (driving and hiking) to all kinds of waterfalls. So, we went to the north fork, of the north fork, of the north fork of the American River. I know, very confusing. It was just past Emigrant Gap. It said it was an easy hike, so we just wore our flip flops. It was pretty easy, until we got to the rocks. My shoes don't have any traction, so, I kept slipping. I ended up just finishing up the trail bare feet. The rocks wee sharp, but not too bad.

When we finally got down to the water, there was probably about 20 people (all locals) there. They were cliff diving. I think Jason wanted to, but we don't have medical, so that wouldn't have been a good idea. Some of the people (that probably do this every weekend) were getting pretty close to the rocks, so I didn't want to dive either. It was a blast swimming around, watching them and very small amount of rock climbing (bare foot).

On our way home, we got stuck in a little traffic. Don't you just love beautiful days in CA? I need to find more waterfalls that are still running in August! We love hiking to find the beautiful falls. We love hiking and being outdoors in general! Once we got home, we un-loaded and took a shower. I love nice cool showers after a hard day of swimming and hiking. It almost makes me feel like a kid again (getting dirty and being in the sun all day swimming). We then finished up our lest few discs of Carnival (a HBO series). It was so great getting some alone time (while Jason had his fun), and being lazy (while still working out all weekend), and spending a fun, great time with the best husband a woman could ever ask for!
