• ESCAPE


    When’s the last time you escaped the chaos of day-to-day life? Last weekend? Last month? Can’t remember?

    YIKES, is all I can say if you have chosen the last one (Can’t Remember!).

    Anyone who has followed this blog for any length of time knows my husband and I are known to hop on the bikes for some mileage pretty much each weekend. If you follow my Twitter or FaceBook status, you’ll often see, “Off for a ride.”

    This past weekend, we shook it up a bit by throwing in a mountain bike ride! Yep, we still did the road biking on Sunday, but Saturday we stole up into a nearby mountain and pounded out a few miles on some single tracks.

    This is the view of Phoenix from the side of a mountain.

    Yep, we’re still in the city…But within the chaos of the traffic,

    We found this little getaway.

    charlie-and-sheri3This is me and my sweet hubby.

    We’d just made a huge climb up the side of a mountain.

    sheri-on-the-mountain1Had to take my “Rocky” picture at the top. It was such a hard climb, I had to shed a layer and get a picture. I think the temperature had climbed fifty degrees (Can we say exaggerate?) by the time we were done.

    So, after a couple Ciff Bars and some Gatorade, we made our way back down the mountain.

    Such a great escape, and who better to spend the time with than my sweet hubby, Charlie.

    Tell me about your last escape, I’d love to hear.
