Happiness only real when shared...
Today was a perfect tribute to Chris McCandless's words, "happiness only real when shared". Ben and I spent the entire day up north exploring, hiking, and just being together. It is definitely in my top 5 happiest days. What originally looked like a bleak and rainy day turned out to be a beautiful sunny day for being outdoors. We figured we just wouldn't go too far away if it were to rain. Why waste gas going up to Georgian Bay if we can't go to the beach? But by the time we hit Newmarket it was clear that the weather was going to cooperate afterall, so we kept driving. We stopped in Creemore for lunch and then walked around the main part of town afterwards and saw the Creemore Springs Brewery while we were there. After lunch we drove out to Singhampton for a hike and to check out the Singhampton Caves. They weren't actually caves in the way most people would think, but actually very large rock formations that you could hike through. The temperature in those rocks was at least 5-10 degrees cooler than the rest of the trail. There were even areas where we saw steam (fog?) coming out from between rocks. There was also a little creek with the cleanest water I've seen on a hike. The water was so clean that it actually had no smell whatsoever. It was likely even safe to drink from. After our hike, we drove up to Georgian Bay to hang out on the beach for a while. I felt so at peace while we were standing in the water with his arm around me. We left Georgian Bay and headed to Blue Mountain to check out the village. I think our original plan was just to take a look around and grab a coffee for the drive back, but we ended up staying and having dinner at Copper Blue. I never would've done any of this on my own, and even if I had, I doubt it would've been as much fun or as wonderful and going with Ben.
Last night, while we were cuddling, Ben said that he thinks we have a bright future. WE have a bright future. That made my heart skip a beat. And during one of our drives today, Ben confirmed our "dating" status for me when we were talking about him having a thing for 13 and 31. He was saying something about how he thought we began to date on the 13th.
Anyways, enough spamming you all about Ben. It's bedtime.
