Walking the weekend away

Yesterday Kris and I ventured off on our own for our first geocache. I didn't realize it at the time, but the entire trip was a four mile walk. We spent the majority of the afternoon outside walking and seeing a part of Albany that I've always wanted to go to but never really had a reason.

Since Pat had my camera for Wrestlemania XX, Kris's was the only one we had and we stopped along the way to take pictures. It was really surreal to be walking underneath the 787/90 junction, a section that I used to drive over every day and now occassionally returning from classes.

If it is one thing that I enjoy it is the joy of civil engineering. I remember being absolutely fascinated when the original Bubba used to take me for field trips with her and I saw and learned about the process of making a bridge. So Kris and I sat underneath the bridge listening to the cars and trucks pass overhead and stared off across the Hudson at the other side.

We were triumphant in our mission and Kris enjoyed it enough to do it again. We're trying to get out of the apartment, be more active, see Albany, and take pictures of various parts of the city that we haven't been to before. After we were done, sore and blistered, we went to Uncommon Grounds for some hot chocolate to warm us back up.

Saturday, we ventured to Rick's place for Albany's St. Patty's parade. I was unimpressed by the parade since it was shorter than I anticipated, probably around 45 minutes. I'll be posting pictures in the gallery this week. His place was packed for the pre and post parade party and we pretty much hung out with his adorable tinies kittens. I even enjoyed the emergency TP mission to the bodega I volunteered for; it was a bright day and the city was filled with friendly drunks.
