Happy Memorial Day! Had our first Rib hike yesterday with my new boots and poles, and it was all-around successful. We even topped the tower. It's a little easier when we start out at 3:15 instead of 5:15 pm. We just have better energy. I had no uncomfortable spots from the new boots so that bodes well. We finally tried Red Robin for a meal and were impressed; one of the choices with the sandwiches is unlimited steamed broccoli! We also used our Living Social voucher to try the Bull Falls Brewery and were rather unimpressed. It wasn't bad, just meh. There are better microbreweries to be had. Today looks a bit grey and cloudy in spite of sunshine when I first awoke. Will be nice to just take it easy. Gym is closed today so I needn't feel guilty about not going. Food: 7:45 am Blueberry danish, 101 g blackberries, coffee 12:00 pm 1 oz fried Brun Gusto cheese, 224 g strawberries, pumpkin scone
