Happy B-day Ese!

It was one of my roomate's birthday (her name is Jessica but I call her Ese) and to celebrate, she wanted to go on a night hike. So when we all got home from work, we piled into Jen's (another roomate) car and drove to the entrance of a trail Ese likes.

It was a beautiful hike! The sun was setting and there were wild flowers everywhere! I am so glad I brought my camera. And we didn't run into another soul the whole time. It was like we owned the forest.

We hiked up to the "Observation Deck" which has a gorgeous view of the surrounding area in all 4 directions. We had secretly brought some chocolate goodies and candles so we could sing happy birthday to Ese. We ate, drank, talked, and laughed till the sun started going down and then we started heading back. As it got darker, we whipped out the headlamps. It was pitch black by the time we reached our car.

What a great way to spend an evening. Happy birthday Ese! We love you!
