Twilight

Lydia and I to went see Twilight this past weekend. And I am now obsessed with Edward Cullen, aka Robert Pattinson. Um... what's not to want. I'm not much older than he is and I think there's a chance he might respond to one of my many love letters I've sent. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Turtle Head Hike

Tuesday was Veteran's Day with no work and no school. What to do? Answer: Turtle Head hike. Amanda, James, Oliver , Trisha, Chau, Serena and I set off around 10AM for a great 5 mile hike- complete with shifting rocks, elusive trails, and boulder hopping. As we headed for the 'saddle' with James scoping out which trail to take, we were passed by a few hikers. One we named 'stick man' (as he was savvy enough to bring two poles), and the other a woman with only one pole but traveling at almost twice our speed. Both hikers ageing at over sixty years... We asked the woman which trail to take with her reply being "There are many trials." She reminded me of the Oracle from the Matrix...

When we finally made it to the top we wrote on the sign-in book. Serena's comment being "I'm tired, 2.5 mile more?" We also took a few minutes to rest and look at the beautiful view of the Las Vegas valley. The view alone made the 3 hour climb worth it.

Biking Around: Family Style!

Our family's new obsession is to go cycling with our low resistance street bikes. I'm a bit competitive (shocking, I know) and try to get as far ahead as possible while keeping both lungs intact. Its a great ego booster until I realize that my parents are almost sixty...

Serena and my mom have a crossover Trek bike while my dad and I opted for the Novara Buzz. When I decided to buy a bike of my own, I was very adamant about having disk breaks as I'm sort of a speed junkie and had a little incident with a dog and the asphalt. (Don't worry, the dog is OK but I had a nice raspberry on my knee and elbow)
