I Hate Lemonade

I don’t normally exercise, but I want to look good in Europe and my sister’s wedding this summer so I’m trying.

I started today by going on a hike with my sister and her new boyfriend. I had told them yesterday that I would be okay with an easy hike so she found a simple 3 mile hike to Century Lake in Malibu Creek State Park.

We set off at about 12:20 and basically just followed the trail. I was worried when I got up this morning that it would rain, but it turned out to be really lovely during the hike. The sun was out but it was still chilling so its almost like I wasn’t reay sweaty.

Despite my being allergic to exercise I ended up basically leading the hike cause the handholding was slowing them down :)

About 30 minutes in my sister said we were almost to the lake. 30 minutes later we still hadn’t reached it so she figured maybe she read wrong and it meant we were almost to the trail head. We didn’t mind that since it was really nice out and soon we found the MASH set.

That was super cool and obvs I couldn’t resist taking some pictures. Well we continued on after the set and soon found a sign that said there was no more landmark places ahead and that Century Lake was 1.5 miles behind us…

We were so confused since none of us had seen a sign. So we headed back and 1.5 miles later we hit a fork we had seen before and there was a thin pole that had Century and an arrow painted on it. And it was facing away from the way we had come. There was no way for us to have seen that!

Needless to say we found the lake and had a lovely little rest.

Despite the fact that we walked an extra 3 miles (partially uphill) it was a fun and beautiful 2 and a half hour hike. And maybe, just maybe I’m not so allergic anymore…
