Hiking Trip

I wanted to share all the cool places I went to when I was on vacation. I went hiking at Bear Mountain and this time around the hike was much longer and me and my friend were so tired that we had to take the road back to the car toward the end of it. It was a lot of fun and I got some great exercise. And on the plus side I saw two deer while walking back and it was cool. We did get lost but we managed to get back to the right trail and that's all that counts. Even though it was a bit longer than we had figured the hike would take I thought it was cool and fun.

Sesame Place

Next we went to Sesame Place. Unfortunately it took 3 and half hours to get there so we were a little tired and wanted to have some fun. The first ride we went on Sky Splash where the freezing cold water awaited us at the end of the ride. We did get wet and it was cool. Then we went on roller coaster called the Vapor Trail. It was a lot of fun. Then onto the Big Bird's Balloon Race. You get very dizzy on that ride. Then another water ride, Bert & Ernie's Slip and Slide. That you get completely soaked and again the freezing cold water awaits you at the bottom of the pool. Glad I bought my towel with me.

We went on Nets & Climbs but David did not like it so we had to stop after half way though. I had a lot of fun doing that. We saw a show at Abby's Paradise Theater called Abby Cadabby's Treasure Hunt. We went on the Vapor Trail again and this time we were at the back of the ride which was super cool.

Then of course we had to stay for the Parade with all the characters in it. I took some pics of it and of the cool bushes that made up of some of the characters. There was a ride with Bert and Erie but it was closed but I took a pic of that. And the Sesame Neighborhood had a fire truck in which you can sit in so I had David take a pic of me in it. I had a lot of fun and too bad we did not have enough time to do all the things I wanted. At least I bought a small stuffed Grover. I took a pic of it so you can see how cute he is.

Oh, Grover! He is my favorite character from sesame street! I know him as "Grobi" and his only competition is Oscar.

Look at you! Thanks for sharing these awesome pictures. I know that feeling that hikes take a lot longer than expected. Still the nature is wonderful. I am glad you gyus had such a blast.

I know I am bumping in "in progress" but I have to come back later since I am with one foot out of the door. Great blog and Grobi-hugs!

I'm glad you had fun! Sorry you got lost though hehe. I don't like hiking at all haha. Nice pictures, awww you're pretty hun. OMG I wanna go to Sesame Place! It sounds like so much fun! LOL sorry I'm such a dork Grover's so cute, Caryn. Have a lovely day *hugs*
Posted Aug 26, 2008 9:52 am PT
I can only say better you hiking than me... I walk a lot, but not THAT much. Is David still talking to you?

I didn't know there was a amusement park based on Sesame Street. I have motion sickness so I can hear about amusement park, but there's not a lot of amusement in it for me .

Great pics of the hike btw.

Be good.

How long was the hike? I hate the really tricky hikes where you have to avoid the tree roots, but I guess that's really hiking heehee. I'm glad you found your way. Great pictures! I LOVE THAT SHIRT! *Puma high fives* LOL poor David. Glad you had fun at Sesame Place! I didn't know it was real. Aww, Grover. I loved the Cookie Monster.
Posted Aug 26, 2008 11:30 am PT
Seems like you've had a lot of fun! Bear Mountain looks like a beautiful place. I hope you had warm weather when riding those water rides.
Posted Aug 26, 2008 11:54 am PT
Wow, an 8 hour walk. That is a lot of walking. I'm guessing you had breaks.

I 've never actually seen the show Sesame Street. And I didn't know it had an amusement park.
Posted Aug 26, 2008 12:07 pm PT

Ela: Grover is my favorite character from Sesame Street as well. They even had a Super Grover but it was a bit more money. Oscar is another favorite of mine. I just love all of them but didn't have the funds to buy all the characters.

Hiking was cool and as you can tell I was loving it. Glad you liked the pics. Yes it does. Nature rules and you get to see so many of natures wonders when you are out doors. Thanks.

May sure you come back to see the rest of the SP pics and of course I will be adding eye candy. Glad you liked reading about my misadventures out in the world.

**GROBI HUGS**

Tiffany: I had a blast. And we even had a map so we must of been really lost not to notice the wrong turn we took. Not everybody does. Thanks!! I hate how I look since the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't see anything when David took the pic.

I hope you can go to Sesame Place one day. It is in PA and the website is cool to look at if you are serious enough to plan a trip there. I am glad I am not the only person who loves Sesame Street. hehe I bet you would love the face painting and fake tatootes. I almost got one but I didn't want to wait on the long line.

**SP HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 2:17 pm PT
I am back!! And now talking right into your reply comments, how naughty am I today?

I would love to do such a trip it must have been awesome. Those views from the top are relaxation at once for me. *sigh* My sister is on a hiking trip. right now.
The not-super-Grover is pretty super as well! And where is MY EYE-CANDY? Guess I'll be back for another stop then. *Oscar hugs*
Posted Aug 26, 2008 2:31 pm PT

France: It is OK that you are not a fan of hiking. I love to walk especially outside when the weather is nice. Actually David is not talking to me but it is not because of the long hike.

Yes there is and it is incredible place to visit. I am so sorry you have motion sickness. You would of killed me on the Balloon Race because I love spinning the wheel and you would of been very sick. You would like the water rides there. Or you could just swim in the little kids pool.

Thanks, I keep telling you I just point and shoot. All I am just doing is capturing the beauty around me.

Take care!!!

**SYMPATHY HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 2:34 pm PT

Ivy: I believe the hike was 7½ to 8 hours. I lost count when David starting complaining that he can't hike any more and we had to walk on the road because it was easier to walk on. Well the tree roots where not the problem but the thorns on the bushes that scratched my leg. Me too! Thanks and look at that beautiful skyline. *high fives back* Puma makes great stuff. hehe David doesn't want to go hiking with me anymore.

Well now you know SP is real and a fun place to visit. I also love Cookie Monster but I did not see any when I bought my Grover. I did however buy chocolate chip cookies to remember him. They were delicious. hehe

**CM HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 2:50 pm PT

Maarit: I had loads of fun. Actually the pics where not on Bear Mountain but on a different mountain which is why David wanted to kill me when he realized we had 2 more hours of hiking to do to get back to the car.

Yes the weather was great and the sun was smiling on us. The freezing cold water was welcoming and very refreshing.

**SQUISHY HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 2:58 pm PT

Rocio: It was a very long hike. Yes we did have breaks but there was not to many places to sit and hang out.

I can't believe you never watched Sesame Street. See how much fun you are missing. Well now you can add it to your list of places you would like to visit.

**BIG HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 3:09 pm PT

Ela: I see you are back. hehe That is cool to know.

I am sure you can do a hiking trip around your area. Yes they are and very surreal when you look around and see how everything looks so small when you are so high up. What place did your sister go hiking? I hope she had a good time enjoying nature.

Thanks I like normal Grover as well. It is now up. EYE CANDY GALORE!!! I hope you will be back and there is a special bonus for you to enjoy this time around.

I have to say as a smoker, not much of a hiker, but I did hike to the top of Diamond Head when I was in Hawaii... and I did enjoy a good view of the islands... but still not gonna do that again
Posted Aug 26, 2008 6:29 pm PT
Hiya Hike!
Nice pics! And looks like a cool hike! Sorry you got a little misplaced but hey ya made it back!
That's the thing about long hikes...once ya get there you have no choice but to hike back...no matter how tired you are! LOL
Sorry David isn't talking to you right now. Hopefully that will blow over.
Ahhh Sesame Street..that brings back memories! So the amusment park looks cool. I love going on all the rides. And those bushes are pretty cool!
Thanks for sharing!
**hiking hugs**
Posted Aug 26, 2008 7:02 pm PT

Lisa: That may be why you are not much of a hiker. How was the hike up Diamond Head? I have never been to Hawaii so I could only guess how beautiful the view is overlooking the Islands. David is with you with this last hike. I guess I will have to find another partner and at least I will have the cool memeries.

**HAWAII HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 8:19 pm PT

Hiya Puma!
Thanks and I was so glad when we saw the car in the parking lot. I can't believe how happy I was to get my hiking boots off and relax. Yes that is so true. You have to get back to your car even if you just want to collapse and not move. Nope, he is gone for good so we will have to find other friends to hike with.

Yes it does. And don't forget Mr. Rogers as well. Sesame Place is a fun place and lots of things to do there. I love going on all the rides as well. I thought the bushes were so cool and had to show them off. hehe No problem.

**BEAUTIFUL VIEW HUGS**

Posted Aug 26, 2008 8:29 pm PT
Caryn,
first off...Look at YOU!!!! First time I've ever seen a picture of ya!!! :: waving :: I see you!!!
The hike, while longer than expected, sounds beautiful, and it's always such a splendor to see deer in the wild.

And OMG.... GROVER!!! How cute!!!! I didn't even know they had a Sesame Street theme park! Just so much fun!!
I'm glad you had a great time!
**Sunny day, keeping the clouds away hugs**

Sesame Place looks so AWESOME

Glad you had fun

And that first pic of Jared is mighty fine
Posted Aug 26, 2008 11:13 pm PT
Awesome view! Sounds cool..even tho you got lost.. And you saw deer!
Sesame Place looks great! I almost wanna go.. But dude I'd be dissapointed if I went there and there was no Cookiemonster! He's the awesomest!
Glad you had fun!
But why ain't David talking to you?? :/
*hope everything is ok hugs*
Posted Aug 27, 2008 2:39 am PT
Captain Hammer - hmmm.

Those are awesome pictures, this theme park sounds and looks like a lot of fun!
My sister is in France. They are having a blast.
About 2 hours from where I live, there is a great hiking place with an amazing view. We made pictures in black and white. Take a look.
I should go there soon.
*Ernie and Bert Hugs* (they are pretty awesome as well)

Hello Hike

Great pics of the hiking trip, it looks really beautiful out there, glad you had fun. Sesame Place!! I've heard of it, it seems kinda fun. Aww, your little stuffed Grover is cute My fav was Cookie Monster, but now I like Count

Nice eyecandy See ya Hike!
Posted Aug 27, 2008 8:54 am PT
Well, I think you have an eye for pics and you are not giving yourself credit... Beauty might be there, but there's a way to capture it and you have it (just look at the pics not taken by you... there's a diff, seriously).

Saw the rest of the pics, I came before you were done yesterday... Ummm, September 18 is coming fast now (sorry, the eye candy put that in my head).
Posted Aug 27, 2008 9:58 am PT

Sharon: I actually have a pic of myself on my blog. Usually I am the one taking the pictures but this time I had David take one to remember the cool hike. How goofy do I look with my squinted eyes. I did blog about my I-CON convention and there were pics of me with some of the guests there. I guess you did not see that one.

Yes watching the deer frolic around was great to see. Wasn't that skyline just so breathtaking.

Yep, Sesame Place is very awesome place to spend the day there. hehe I guess it is PA best kept secret.

**BEAUTIFUL SCENERY HUGS**

Posted Aug 27, 2008 2:29 pm PT

Rach: SP was totally awesome place and yes I had a lot of fun there.

Oh yeah Jared in that pic puts big smile on my face.

**SEXY JP HUGS**

Posted Aug 27, 2008 2:35 pm PT

Supes: The hike was all kinds of awesome and I loved every moment of it including watching the wild deer frolic around.

Darling of course Cookie Monster was there. He was in the parade but I couldn't get close enough to take a pic of him. And he was in the show I watched so I was in CM heaven.

Like I said before David and me are not talking to each other so no more hanging out with him. I guess it was just not meant to be.

**COOKIE MONSTER HUGS*

Posted Aug 27, 2008 2:44 pm PT

Ela: I am so glad you like the pics and yes Sesame Place is such a blast to spend the day there.

Wow, I hope your sister takes many pics because I would love to see where she visited. I don't think I will be going to France any time soon. Have you gone hiking at the place you are talking about? I am sure the view is just as breathtaking as the one I saw on my hike. That pic totally rocks. hehe

I hope you get a chance to go there and take pics if you do so we can see how cool your trip was.

**ROCK CLIFFS HUGS**

Hi Nova:
The hiking trip was really cool and I am glad you liked the pics.

OMG somebody actually heard of Sesame Place. Yep, stuffed Grover is a cute little thing. Another one who loves Cookie Monster. Count is cool as well. I did not see that much of him but I am sure he was at the parade.

I aim to please. Eye candy banquet!!!

**CM AND COUNT HUGS**

Posted Aug 27, 2008 3:05 pm PT

France: I did take a cl@ss in Photography so maybe that has something to do with it. And my camera is a great one so maybe my camera does all the work and I take all the credit.

I am glad you got to see the rest of the Sesame Place pics. Did you love those bushes? OMG I wish I could be that creative.

Yes Sept. 18 will soon be here. Let us rejoice. I can't believe how much I want the premiere to get here already. See eye candy is good for something other then drooling. hehe

**SEASON 4 ALMOST HERE HUGS**

Posted Aug 27, 2008 3:16 pm PT
Ummm, you do know what bush is an euphemism for, right? So how can you ask that question? .

France: You are so funny and I guess my mind doesn't go to that place when I am talking about artistic creations. Dirty little girl.

Susan!

I am so glad you liked the hiking pics. Yes they are.

Awww! I am so sorry to hear that. I am sure you can walk at least one hour of easy hiking. I have been doing this for awhile so 8 or so hours is no big deal for me.

Well that is what I look like when I go hiking. My FB pic is the best pic I am ever going to get of myself and you always want to have your best pic for your profile page.

Posted Aug 29, 2008 11:46 am PT
I had major fun at Sesame Place. I loved to watch it all the time so when I heard about the theme park I just had to go.

I thought the same thing when I saw the stuffed Grover. hehe

**Grover hugs Susan back**

Of course Jared and Jensen are part of the eye candy corner.

I know, JDM looks awesome in his Comedian outfit. I am so going to his new movie in March when it comes out.

Posted Aug 29, 2008 11:56 am PT

I have not bought my copy yet, I just bought Heroes season 2. I am probably buying TSCC next week when I have more money.

Posted Aug 29, 2008 11:59 am PT

I am so glad you liked all my pics. What fun is it to just talk about the trips when you can share pics with everybody.

**COOL TRIPS HUGS**
