When we were married at the ripe, old age of 18, there was a lot of discussion about whether it was a wise choice to start a family so young. At the time, we subscribed to the thought process that starting early would allow us to be 'retired' from raising children by the time we hit our early 40's; which in turn would allow for lots of adventure. We've had plenty of friends that looked at it the opposite way; choosing instead to seek adventure first and family second. Both paths certainly have their pluses and minuses, but we've never had any regrets. We've been married for 28 years, have two amazing sons, and are still each other's best friend. So here we are, in our mid-40's, learning to embrace our empty nest and enjoy this new chapter of our lives.
We've always enjoyed nature, but as we've matured it seems we appreciate it much more. In fact, it's part of what keeps us grounded and sane in an otherwise hectic life. Our goal for this blog is to record our adventures, mostly of the hiking genre, and track our results. We want to be able to look back and see where we've been and continue to set goals for where we are going. Maybe along the way others will find our tales interesting, but if not we will at least have a written record of our adventures that will supplement our memories.
We are C & C, Two Young Soles.
