A hike? Paul thought, already warming to the idea.  Their jaunt to the beach was almost a hike, though the beach itself was the true destination.  This time they’d be on an actual hike.  He’d have to go inside and consult some maps, as there was some inviting trails around the area.  It might take a little driving to get there, but it was always well worth it.  He always favored hikes that looped.  That way, you never saw the same scenery twice.<br/><br/>“That sounds like an excellent idea, Charlette,” he said, quite glad to see her maybe snapping outta her funk.  “Can do on the camera, too.  May as well pack a few zoom lenses.  Dunno what we might stumble across on the trails.”<br/><br/>Paul laughed, while putting on his metaphorical photographer nerd’s hat.  “Y’know, we might see that one great shot of dewdrops on a flower or leaf, or maybe a caterpillar slowly meandering across a branch.”  He was in full-on nerd mode now.<br/><br/>Or maybe you’ll see Charlette bend over, offering a clear view of her ass, Old Man.<br/><br/>Paul just smiled at her, while reaffirming that a trek did indeed sound good.  She even said she knew of a particular place.  All good to know.
