Impromptu Weekend

On Saturday, Lisa and I met up with Debbie and Phil (and the dogs) to go on a hike in Ridley Creek State Park, near Media PA. Its a pretty nice park. It has horse stables and designated horse trails, as well as hiking trails and a paved multi-use trail. There were a good amount of people running on the multi-use trail. All of the trails intersect and interweave with each other throughout the park, ensuring an endless variety of trails on multiple visits to the park.

Some of my only complaints are that the trails could have been a little better maintained. At times, the brush had taken over the trail (as is evident by when I got stuck on the thorny bush, and the constant threat of ticks), and the trail could have been better marked (only trail junctions were spray-painted on the trees).

After 4.x miles, we had our packed lunch on the picnic tables, and caught up on things. It sure was nice to have another couple to enjoy the outdoors with. We're looking forward to more outings, even up in our area.

Mom C. made dinner reservations for the four of us at Bonefish Grill in town. The food was great. Heck, I enjoy any type of seafood.

On Sunday morning, we wanted to go check out The Funplex up in Mt. Laurel. We wanted to do some go-karts, and that was about the highlight of that trip. The place is tuned more towards children. Its disappointing, because there should be more places like this for adults. I guess that what Dave & Buster's is for.

We made it back to Qtown in time to have dinner with my parents, and see the (other) dogs.

The weekend was a little exhausting, but still fulfilling.
