Perfect day

If you were to ask several people what their perfect day consisted of
you would get a variety of answers. Things that vary from staying home
and reading a good book, to thrill seeking adventures such skydiving.
When I think of a perfect day I think of a day with no worries, no
cares. And I think that's something everyone has in common. One day
where you don't worry about the bills, or what to make for dinner. A day
when you just do what you love, and nothing more, and what I love is
good food, being outdoors, and relaxing. So, that's what I would do.

Music fills my room and I can feel movement on the bed next to me. It's
my girlfriend, Zoe, turning off our alarm. She rolls over to kiss me,
and tells me to get some more sleep. I happily comply, closing my eyes,
and easily falling back asleep. When I re-awaken I wake up to the smell
of breakfast. Zoe is sitting next to me on the bed holding a plate. I
sit up and see that it's a sandwich. But not just any sandwich, it's an
egg sandwich on a bagel with golden crispy back, a fried egg, and pepper
jack cheese. My favorite. I take my time, and enjoy my breakfast in
bed. Finishing up, I go downstairs rinse my plate and immediately start
packing for my adventure for the day.

I fill my backpack with
snacks, and supplies. I load my bike on the back of my car and take
off. Upon arriving I see my friend already parked, and unpacked. I pull
up next to him and unpack my car. Getting on our bikes we start our
trip. The trail in steep, you have to keep a constant motion to keep
going. There are few flat spots where you can take small breaks, or stop
to readjust. After a couple hours we reach the top. It's beautiful up
here. The trails have been empty all day, so I'm excited to go back
down. We eat a few snacks, and drink almost the rest of our water before
heading back down. Immediately I pick up speed. The trail is pretty
wide, but the faster you go the more narrow it seems. On the way back
down I take a different turn than I did on the way up. Speeding down the
steep hill I see a five foot drop quickly approaching. After sizing it
up, I steady my bike preparing for the impact. Going over the end of the
ground, I feel that both tires are now suspended. I hit the ground
again and after a second of regaining my balance, continue speeding down
the hill.

Once we get back to the cars, we pack up, and I
make plans to go over to his place later. Driving back home there is a
sunset that seems to cover the whole sky. When I get home Zoe is just
finishing up dinner. I see her taking the stakes off the grill, and I
follow her in the house. She's made NY strip, au gratin potatoes, and
broccoli that she covered in parmesan. We bring our food up to our room
and throw on a movie. We eat and talk for the next hour or so. I tell
her that we were invited to my friend's place to hangout and use his new
hot tub. She agrees to come with and we bring our plates back
downstairs. Zoe takes a bit to get ready and I take the time to go play
with our dogs. Once she's finally ready we head over to our friends
house. First step in the hot tub feels like I'm on fire. I stand there
for a while as I adjust to the water. I finally lower myself into the
water, and it slowly goes from excruciating to relaxing. We stay for a
couple of hours before heading back home again.

Once we get
home we both get in our sweatpants, and make some snacks to eat while
watching movies. When the popcorn is done I take it upstairs. Zoe is on
the bed with both of the dogs playing a game. I sit on the end of the
bed, snuggling up to my dog, watching her play. Eventually she puts on a
movie and I move up to my spot in bed. She falls asleep right away, as
always. I finish up the popcorn, lay my head down and I'm finishing my
perfect day the way it started. In my bed, worry free, and care free. I
soon fall asleep and officially end my perfect day.
