A road closure, a "lost" husband and an impromptu decision, that's how we ended up in front of Crystal Spring park. With my husband wanting to test his new camera, we decided to go for a hike at the park.
Thinking it would be a short hike, we took only our camera and phones and set out. The trail looks relatively easy with paved roads. Being a sunny day, there were many families, bikers and joggers. No dogs is allowed at Crystal Spring park.
Although I'm not particularly athletic, I love to go hiking with my husband. Walking through the trees and lakes, with no disturbance, we can talk for hours as we enjoyed the view. We would try to keep up with each other or slow down when one can't catch-up. I always find hiking a good way to improve our relationship.
We had no idea how long the trail was as we did not checked out the trail map and information at the entrance. We had wanted to complete the trail but an hour later, and still no sign of the end of the trail, we decided to turn back. Half-way back, we realized that we totally forgot to bring water with us. Thirsty and tired, we were glad to finally "struggle" back to our car.
Well, lesson learnt - remember to read the trail map and bring water before starting a hike. Regardless, we enjoyed our hike and had a great day.
