Drift Creek Falls

Saturday I joined the Hopewell youth group on an outing to Drift Creek Falls. It was a good hike/walk for a youth activity — not long/hard enough to significantly manifest my competitive spirit and the destination was delightful. The bridge was neat, the falls were pretty, and it was fun messing around down stream of both.

I'm not very good at accepting chivalry. My tendency is to open doors for guys (though I'm learning to go through first since they usually make me anyway). On this outing, I not only accepted chivalry — I accepted chivalry in such a way that it sort of admitted my defeat and the superiority of the chivalry-granter. A little hard to stomach, but I think I'm mostly over it by now.

I did a typical brainless/clueless-Claire and packed a lunch for the day — turns out we were to be fed by minister RW's wife. Somehow I never heard or didn't process what I did hear. Well, well...

Driving home was some fun, particularly when JG sang "The Old Maid in the Garret" as she was unknowingly videotaped on KR's digital camera.
