A healthy marriage is based on three things: 1. Spending time together 2. Spending time without the kids 3. Spending time in Stehekin. We hopped the ferry Friday after work and headed on up. DeA can't take a selfie without looking at herself and checking her hair, eyes, whateves.
As she usually does, she fell asleep once we were on our way.
We got to the Ranch a little before dinner (ribs and brisket) and took a little evening walk by the river.
DeA strives to find the balance between wearing herself out and relaxing. That usually means a hike in the morning, and on Saturday we went up Mt McGregor about 2.5 miles.
Howard Lake on the way up.
About two miles up, she was struggling (she says due to a cold that she was battling) and mumbled "I'm not supposed to be the one out of ...". I asked what she was going to say and she snapped "nothing, nothing, just nothing".
I am 100% sure that she was going to say that she wasn't supposed to be the one that was out of shape. I'd bet my left kidney on it.
We got back, hit the bakery for lunch, and then rested at our cabin. We did another after dinner (prime rib) walk.
On Sunday we did the Agnus Gorge hike. It was hot and dusty, but we were able to beat the busload of other hikers to the trailhead.
We played on their swing a little when we got back.
We had to ride the bus like commonfolk, but it was good. We stopped at Rainbow Falls. The water was pretty low and would have been unimpressive if it were the first time we had seen it.
The ferry ride back was smooth and easy with perfect weather. It was a good weekend. It is always important to remind DeA why we started this mess 18 years ago.
