Our Technology Tzars gave us a super-cool present this year for Christmas. They set us up to go geocaching. In case you don't want to click on the link to find out what it is, I'll just briefly explain that it's kind of like a treasure hunt. People bury little boxes of fun treasure and hunters use GPS receivers to find them. We decided to look for a bit of treasure while we were in Georgia and our hunt led us to an incredibly old cemetery, hidden in the woods.







We did find the cache, but that had very little to do with the amount of fun we had. Mostly, we had so much fun going on an adventure - just the four of us.

I read about geocaching a few years ago and have wanted to try it out!

Oh-my-gosh! That's fantastic and looks like a Christy adventure. You'd just love the old cemeteries here.

So glad you guys had a great time.

Actually that sounds like something Travis and Chloe would *love*. We might have to try it sometime.

Alli & Amy - I know both of you would love it. There are varying degrees of difficulty with each cache, so it can be more or less challenging to suit your fancy :)

Penny - yep, you're right. I really do know that life happens :) Glad you found a few minutes to stop by!

I was just thinking about geocaching the other day and wondered if people were still doing it because I hadn't seen anything recently. Reading Owen's Hardy Boys series with him makes this even more appealing to me. I've been wanting to set up a treasure hunt for the boys this summer so I'm further inspired.
