This 5.8 mile round-trip (according to my GPS) hike kicked my ass today. First of all, it’s probably not a good idea to go hiking after, say, 7am when it’s so damn hot outside this time of year. Second of all, it’s not a good idea to only bring one source of water; always keep a backup Nalgene just in case. I apparently didn’t listen to myself and started hiking with a buddy from work at 7:30am with only a camelback and a few granola bars to eat.

In total, we purchased 7 fish for our tank: 4 Neon Tetra, 2 Silver Mollies, and 1 Zebra Mollie. We still have more room in the tank for some other fish, but have to wait a while before getting them so that our tank can adjust and get the bacteria levels working correctly. We were thinking about getting Angel Fish, but are not 100% set on what our next ones will be.

Lauren and I spent the last week and change running around the North East visiting the three states that we spent the vast majority of our lives calling home while seeing our families and friends.

We spent a few days traveling, three days in Massachusetts visiting the sights around Boston, a day in Pennsylvania visiting the Philadelphia and Bethlehem areas, and then another three days in New Jersey relaxing and taking a day to enjoy Six Flags Great Adventure.
