yay

So, the Valentine's Day adventure was awesome. I woke up in the morning, rather grudgingly I might add, at a cool 8:30am. Chris was already trying to roll my lazy butt out of bed. Then he opens my hand and fills it with a box. In said box was a beautiful necklace that I absolutely love....We went to get some gas and some food and then off on the road we went. We traveled to Albany as I previously mentioned. The first stop was the crossgates mall. We found that with relative ease and we wandered around wasting time and eating jelly beans and gooeys. We decided it was time to head to the real destination and back to the car we went. Okay, so mapquest sucks and we got lost but Chris is awesome and we found the place using an atlas and our internal compasses. From the outside the rock climbing gym looks like it is just a shipping and receiving building. Once inside you can see all the walls to climb. There are also caves but we'll get to that later. SO you get shoes that cramp your toes and a harness that binds your butt but it's totally worth it. First you learn to climb and belay. I am lighter than chris so when it was time for me to belay I had to wear "frank" a 75 lb rock to make sure that when chris tried to come back down he wouldn't fall or drag me up to the top instead. As fun as the climbing was, I loved the caves. The caves went behind the climbing walls as well as above them. most of the caves were completely black and were tiny to squeeze through. Before you're allowed to go through the caves you have to squeeze through the tiny box at the entrance. Getting stuck in random places where you can't see what you are doing is always fun. After the rock gym we went to tgi fridays. That was good and it was followed up by coldstone and starbucks. then we went back to my house to dog sit my parents dog. Maggie+chris+sara=not a lot of sleep for sara or chris. How can one medium sized dog take up so much bed. until next time I must away.
