We went on a little getaway this last weekend... "down south" ~on Presidents Cup Sunday we were able to get the guys to do a couples hike... it was kindly named "hELL HoLe" ... not sure it was a "couples hike". Everyone headed out for our 5 hour hike and put on ipods Hugh? It felt like a scene out of a movie :) Afeter it was all said and done I think we ALL had a good day~ the weather was amazing and the sky the deepest shade of blue. As usual... men are from venus women are from mars-
