This year marks a milestone birthday for both myself, and my
daughter Danielle. In honor of this special occasion we made a pack that once a
year we are going to go on random adventures to places we have never been
before (just the two of us) to reconnect and create new memories together.
Neither of us was quite sure what that would look like, but in April we quickly found out. Instead of having a big birthday party, I thought it might be a good time to start our new annual adventure. My daughter's suggestion was to go climbing around in caves in the Sierra Mountains … I immediately had an anxiety attack at the thought. Did I really want to re-experience my birth by wiggling around in dark spaces on our tummies and knees crawling through tunnels, while gasping for air in the dark corners of Mother Earth's belly? I don't think so.
