I've started walking around my apartment complex since the weather has been nice and I haven't had time for a trip to the park.  IThere's actually a pretty nice yard in the back.  While walking through the yard today, I noticed a footpath leading into the woods.  The path led to a beach!  It's small, consists of stones and shells, lines a river, and wouldn't be good for sunbathing, but it's still pretty.  lol, I'm excited!  I'm planning on exploring more of the woods behind the complex when I'm not in nice clothes, flip flops, and don't have papers to write :-P

I grew up surrounded by woods, and I really miss them.  My sister, friends, and I used to explore and get lost in them for hours as a kid.  There was a creek in the woods and as long as we could see it, we could go exploring for miles and still find our way to somewhere familiar.  The creek was in the middle of a large ravine, and we had a ton of fun tying super-long dog leashes around trees at the top and repelling down, climbing up the ravine's walls.  My aunt lives in the house I grew up in.  I want to pack some food and spend a day exploring again.  My sister discovered this awesome area with large, flat stones that made up a small lake and had miniature waterfalls.  It was an hour or so into the woods and I haven't been back there for years, but I want to find it again.  It was so beautiful :)
