My best (and first!) bundt cake ever made!!!

2011-02-08T12:31:00.001-08:00

Vanilla on bottom, chocolate on top, and finished with a delicious chocolate glaze!

I tried out a new recipe for this one, as I've always wanted to make a bundt cake. Dug out the old bundt cake pan and... voila! It came out fabulous and did not last long around the house :P

And a little dab of whipped cream =)

Mt. Monadnock

2010-08-15T09:30:00.000-07:00

Last Wednesday, I hiked up the Pompelly trail of Mt. Monadnock. The 9 mile round-trip trek was long, tiring, and buggy, particularly for the first hour starting out. The outside temp was also quite warm, mid 80's, which added to the turmoil. Our packs were loaded to the brim with h20 (which felt like bricks on our backs), and was definitely a struggle starting out. Dad, my Vasque's and I, eventually summitted at 4:30 pm, having begun at 1:30pm, and enjoyed a 30 minute lunch break at top before starting back down. By 7:30pm we had completed the descent and only had to swat at the non-biting midges flying in our eyes and ears for about an hour or so again on the descent. Overall, I would give this trail about a C. The bugs were a pain in my rear and the hike wouldn't have been half as bad without them and the hot summer heat. Lafayette was my fave thus far, I'll keep you tuned in for our next summer hiking excursion. Stay tuned!

Mt. Lafayette

2010-07-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

Dad and I climbed Mt. Lafayette, Mt. Lincoln and Haystack this past Monday. The 10 mile round trip trek was fabulous! My limbs can certainly feel it, especially my calves, knees and shoulders. The views were spectacular and as we raced down to beat the clock (and the dark), we felt winded, yet accomplished. This hike was great preparation for our Mt. Katahdin expedition which will be completed sometime in the upcoming months. And to top it all, my Vasque's are the perfect little climbers and a great companion for a journey such as this.

Hello! This is my blog. Yesterday, I got a new pair of kicks. Not just any kicks either, but a pair of new, Vasque hiking boots that are going to be my feet for some intense climbs this summer, (courtesy of hiking companion and daddio, Ken B), =). On our agenda is Mt. Major, Mt. Monadnack, Mt. Lafayette, Mt. Washington and the grand finale with big ol' Baxter, Mt. Katadin. Here goes nothin'!
