Last week was my birthday. Here is a clue to how old I am:
(If you can decipher the clue you might win something. Go to the end of this post to see if you are interested.)
So how did I celebrate? I went geocaching. My young bride Sweetie agreed to come along. Here we are at the start, you can tell she is eager to get started.
We had a few hiccups involving uploading and downloading the coordinates where we had to go home to get everything fixed. I mean you can’t really enjoy the woods without the right technology, right?
So we finally got started and found our first cache.
We went on a three mile hike in the woods.
The red buds were blooming everywhere.
Sometimes you have to get down and dirty and reach up inside hollow trees and hope for the best.
and sometimes you have to make your way through the poison ivy and thorns
and sometimes you have to deal with obstructions in your path
Some caches are very clever. Do you see it?
Now do you see it?
We, or at least I, had a great time. Sweetie is such a great wife.

I really, really, really want somebody to have these tickets. So if you would like to go to the Maryland Science Center and can decipher the clue as to how old I am then email me with your answer at yogiabb(at)yahoo(dot)com.
It’s going to be very simple. When I get home from work Tuesday evening. We’ll take the entries, write them on a piece of paper, put them in a hat and SuperPizzaBoy will pull the winner out of the hat and I’ll be contacting you for your mailing address. You are going to have to trust me.
The only thing I ask is that if you get the tickets, please go and then make a blog post about it, and send me the link! I think that it would be a great My World post. I would love to go to that museum and exhibit, but its not happening for the Yogis.
That cake looks soooo yummy! what a wonderful birthday you had!!!
The Maryland Science Center is a fascinating place! I wish I could go again. Looks like you had a great birthday!
What a fun way to celebrate a birthday! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
What a great contest you’re having, I wished I lived closer to Maryland.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Sunny 🙂
Umm… Yogi, if I could actually travel somewhere for a vacation at this point in my life, it wouldn’t be Maryland! LOL!!
Okay, I might if I won an all-paid trip!
I do want to try geocaching some day. I know Michelle said one of our parks here in town has several in it. I may have to take the girls.
I’m glad you had a great birthday!
It’s exactly how I thought you’d spend it. =)
I heard Sweetie talking about how much she was looking forward to geocaching on your birthday. Or maybe that was sarcasm. It’s so hard to tell…
Happy Birthday. That cake looks awesome!
The Baloneys can’t head to Maryland but I hope you find someone who can. Did you tweet about the tickets yet?
First of all, a very Happy Birthday! Secondly, if I didn’t live on the other side of the country from Maryland I would definitely be entering the contest, sounds like a great place! Glad you had such a good time and Sweetie does deserve a prize of her own. Have a wonderful week!

Looks like a great way to spend a birthday! Best wishes for another great year of blogging and geocaching.
That is a loving wife, to join you in what in an activity you enjoy. A great birthday gift, Happy 55th!
Well let’s see, I will take a wild guess and say you are 55. But I can’t go either. Geocaching is for folks a little more mobile that me. We did have a great time at the baseball game yesterday. We ought to do get together for one. Maybe you can find a geocache in the new stadium, or leave one.
Happy belated Birthday! Another Aries.
The hike sounds fun and the blooming Redbuds are beautiful. Have to watch out reaching into hollow trees.
The museum sounds fun but don’t think I’ll make it. Hope someone can use those tickets.
the woods are beautiful with their spring blossom…
congratulations on a milestone b/day.
geocaching is a family activity eh? looks like fun.
Birthday hint…ummm…it’s a three layer cake…maybe 30? No! ummm…okay! I give! How old?
I would take the tickets in a heart beat, as I drive up that way on my dog transports. I could easily go up I-95, but I simply can’t do it this month. Sux.
I have talked to the wife about the GEOCATCH suff, too.
You seem to have quite the excellent family. First the cake, then the geocaching. Looks like a blast.
what a fun day (happy bday!)..those red buds are fantastic…they really stand out!
Looks like you had a great birthday, but what did it cost to get Sweetie along??lol
That shroom is sooo cool, I’d have been stumped! We’d love to take the tickets but it’s also not happening for us.
Looks like a great time happy b-day. i also would have walked right by that mushroom.
That took a while to work out but I THINK you may be 55 – if I were lucky enough to be pulled out of the hat I’d love to go to Maryland but it’s a bit far to travel from Yorkshire!
That is one great looking birthday cake. May you enjoy 55 more of them.
