Hike + Picnic + Cake + Drive-In = Perfect Day!

Yesterday was an awesome day. We slept in a bit and then ate a late breakfast. The weather was gorgeous out so we played outside a bit with the cat and then got ready for our hike. Hike was nice - a good work out, time with DH, and just nice and quiet hiking up through the trees.








After the hike, we went to one of the picnic areas - yum! We made sandwiches, had the yummy spicy pasta salad I made the night before and some fruit. And, for dessert, I surprised him with some cake from our wedding cake top! Since we didn't get to eat any of it on our actually anniversary, I thought this would be a nice surprise. Our cake was delicious and each layer was different. Our topper was chocolate chip pound cake (or maybe it was yellow cake?). It looks like crap here, but go figure - it thawed out well and was as delicious and tasty as on our wedding day!


After that, we went to one of the look out areas and took some pictures and then drove home. Took a nap, played with the cat, gave him all his meds, food, etc... and then got ready for the Drive-in!

We love going to the drive-in. We have about 3 or so within 30 minutes. It's only $7-$8 to go and you get to see two current-run movies. Can't beat that! The drive-in we went to has 2 screens and were showing Mama Mia and The Mummy on one and The Dark Night and Stepbrothers. We chose the Dark Night and Stepbrothers screen. The Dark Night was really good although on the long side. Stepbrothers was good, although by the time The Dark Night was over we were a bit tired. We laughed a lot, but recommend it more as a rental - and with a few drinks while you do to make it even funnier!
Today we're just hanging out. Weather's kinda crappy - period of rain, then sun, then rain, and the hail is coming soon. So it's a good day to just sleep in, hang out, sleep in, read, clean, watch Lifetime movies, etc... Good times!

I am so jealous! I have always wanted to go to the drive-in. We don't have any near here. Go figure, with 107 degree temps, I wouldn't think that it would be too prosperous.

What a day! It does sound just absolutely perfect!

I'm glad your wedding cake still tasted okay. Ours did as well, but I've heard lots of bad stories (lol).
