Yesterday was my birthday, and It. Was. Awesome. Abby and Ben came to see the house for the first time (we moved in almost a year ago!), and loved it. I had made some more pumpkin cookies before they came over, and they ate half of them before we left to go find another geocache. It was another cache located in Hibernia County Park, which is where Jeff & I found our first one. This was kind of outside the park, and we walked a mile to get there because we didn't know there was parking right next to it, but it was worth it. After walking down a beautiful, leaf-covered trail surrounded by trees and Brandywine Creek on one side, we stopped to check our GPSs and read the clue: "if you don't see it, TRI again." Well, obviously that wasn't a typo, and we were still trying to figure out how much farther we had to go when Ben said, "'tri'...like three tree trunks maybe?" We all looked up and to our left, and right there was a tree with three trunks. Can you believe that? Without realizing it, we had stopped right where we needed to be! We found the cache, left our names and a trinket (a temporary rose tattoo), and then, because it was getting dark, we turned around and headed back to our cars.
Today it's beautiful again--cool, windy, sunny. I'm going back to the trail at Hibernia while there's more light out, so I can get a bunch of photos. Here are a few from yesterday!

This young man, named Cody, had left what looks like his senior portrait in the cache. Weird?
