After a quick breakfast, we headed to Sourlands Preserve, near Princeton, and got out on the trail. Not as early as we'd have liked and quite a few more people at the trailhead than I prefer, but as we got moving and made it to the more strenuous section, people tapered off.
The trail was steeper and more rocky than I was expecting from the look of the place so that was a nice surprise. There were some big boulders along the first loop of the trail that we could climb on if we so desired.
Farther along we came upon a nice stream littered with giant boulders. We couldn't pass that up so we got onto them and started climbing up the slide.
Joanna had to find her way to the top of this big one, despite the difficulty getting up.. and getting down.
We stopped for a little rest before heading back down. It's so beautiful. I love giant rocks.
The views continued to be nice throughout the hike. There were a few more streams to hop over and we went in a circle at one point, but it was a lot of fun.
We were really hungry by the time we got back so we found the nearest Chili's and got ourselves a black bean burger and corn soup. So good. If only they served Gatorade.
We stopped at a park on the way back and played frisbee in a big, open field. It was pretty hot out and I was sweating just standing and throwing the disc around. After tossing for a while, we went over to the water fountain and dipped our feet in, watching little kids swim around in it.
We got back and I headed home and fell asleep for a while watching Fringe. I got up briefly, but went back to sleep since I had a job in the morning.
