For the first time in my life, my kids are grown and gone (mostly,college), I am working entirely from home on my own schedule, and I can hike WHEN I WANT!
I up and decided today to do a short trek on a local trail, and took off and did and had no one to answer to! It was awesome! I also volunteered for my local trail, which has the GET coming through it, so I am really looking forward to that.
Its so weird! It always took some planning and juggling to even do a short day trip and today, all I did was leave a text to my husband at work. And someone was usually always with me, it was nice being alone. Just me and my camera.
I could get used to this! I had been having a bit of empty nest syndrome, missing the kids, but I think its going to be alright.
I think I will check out a new to me trail tomorrow!
Anyone else enjoying an empty nest with freedom to hike?
