I kinda jumped right into hiking with my coworker a few years back. We packed snacks and water and just made a day of it. Ginny loved it so much, and she was just a baby.
Now, the family has grown and we have invited more friends. We have had to take less adventures but they are even more memorable.
Hiking makes me feel accomplished and energized. Just one foot in front of the other, even if you did take the “hard experienced” path by accident. 😄
