Let's Enjoy Hiking Time!

I went on two awesome hikes this weekend as the weather was absolutely perfect. On Saturday, I went up to Unomaru with Mike, Patti, and Kaden. On Sunday, I hiked up the mountain that is a hop, skip, and a jump from my apartment, Taroyama. Here are some pics (if you want to see more pictures and in larger sizes, go here.)
