My Points. Life Changing...huh?
Ok...let's start at the beginning.
I recently clicked enough My Points emails to earn enough points for a gift card.
I really wanted a Bath and Body works card for DD3 for Christmas...but they were all sold out...
So, I chose a Barnes and Nobles gift card. $10. I forgot that I had already bought DD3 a $15 GC to BnN...so I decided to keep the freebie for myself.
DD3 and I went there yesterday and were browsing the books...
I stumbled into the HIKING section. Never officially hiked before...but have thought it might be fun.
Hmm...I have a goal to start WALKING more to help me get healthier and hopefully get off the High Blood Pressure meds...
and...afterall...Hiking...is walking with scenery!!!
So, I picked up a book about the top 100 places to hike in Southern Oregon...and as I did...
a nice man happened by and said:
"That is one of the best hiking books for this area"...so I asked him a little about his hiking and was impressed...thanked him for the suggestion and used my FREE GIFT CARD to buy the book (thanks My Points)
So...I have a plan, to achieve my goal, and involve my family, in something fun and new...thanks to MY POINTS and a few simple clicks!!!
Life Changing? Well, we will see in the next couple of months...but I have a plan...and a book of great information for 'getting there' !!!! and best of all....it was FREE.

I think the hard part is the insane heat in the summer and the fact that my infant was far too heavy to carry on a hike. Hopefully he will be up to more walking this next spring and we can start with some baby hikes. In a couple of years some bigger things.
The west coast overall has lots of beautiful places to hike. OF course I would rather be hiking in ORegon than Sacramento.
