Water, Water, Everywhere

By 6:30am, the sky was bright, not even a cloud in sight.  It was a good day to go out and do something... especially hiking and checking out the wildflowers. 

Of course, when we reached the destination, this was what we got:

Cold. Wet. Miserable.

Great. When life hands you water, be ungrateful!  Toss it back, go and search for your own water!

So we decided to go check out some waterfalls.
We came to a waterfall... another waterfall... then another waterfall...


More river and waterfall!


One more waterfall. By the time I came to this one, I chose to take a flower shot instead of the waterfall.


When life hands you waterfalls, be ungrateful!  Say "awww", toss them back, then go and search for sunshine!

Anyway we got really hungry in the process. We decided to drive to the nearest but unfamiliar town, 60 miles away, to search for something to eat. We pulled into the main street, seeing one empty store right next to another empty store. Two rows of empty stores, some with broken windows, some were just eerie. No store. No food. No life.

We were ready to give up when I spotted a lone building in business. It wasn't just any business, it was a brew pub!!! I felt like I had just struck the lottery.



The food there was great. The beer was excellent. And I got to beat husband in a game of pool by sheer luck - unbelievable!

We didn't do what we had intended to do. No hiking. No wildflowers. We ended up driving 300 miles in total, saw many rivers and splashing waterfalls. Got very soaked in the process. Ate in an unlikely brewery in a ghost town.  But above all, we went home happy. 

Life is great, regardless what it throws at you... just toss the thing back and you will do fine.
