Late night adventures

Yesterday was quite the summer day, and one of the best days so far. Originally I was supposed to work, but patients canceled and I wasn't needed so I had the whole day to myself! I ran some errands and instantly bought up Owl City's new EP and it is absolutely incredible. It's like candy for my ears. Needless to say, I can't wait for the rest of the album! After that I left the city behind and went for some country driving. Two of my best friends and I went out on a photo shoot and found some great abandoned barns, woods, and wide open fields. I already love driving, but something about winding back roads make me wish I could just go for a long car ride to, well, nowhere in particular. The rest of the day included some re-watching of LOTR, a walk to the park, swing sets, merry-go-rounds, driving barefoot, eating ice cream, and more driving with the windows down, the music on, and not a care in the world! Then to top it all off, my sister, who's staying with us for a bit, took me to this amazing place in the country. So we put on our sweatpants, grabbed our old sneakers and left the house after midnight. Once we got there we hiked through the woods, and it was almost like being in a different world. The forest was quiet, the air was warm and the breeze was cool, and there was something so incredibly peaceful about walking in the dark. I love the night. The trail led us out to the river and we sat on the rocks under the bridge and just talked. The water rushed all around us, the stars were out, and it was so nice to just sit there and have a heart-to-heart talk with my sister. Between work and college, we don't get to see each other a lot. The best part? We did this all at two in the morning (: Even though getting up for work was hard this morning, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
