Detours

Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain

I’ve never seen a sunrise, so what better place to see your first one than on top of Cadillac Mountain. We woke up from our 3 hour nap, not to be confused with sleep, at the buttcrack of dawn. But 2 A.M. was actually not that bad cause I was with my best friends on this trip.

I grabbed my coffee and we went up to the summit except it was too early even for the park rangers to be awake. So we took a detour to the pitch black parking lot of Eagle Lake. We drowned out the frogs with our laughter, making dance videos and taking the most insane .5x selfies. Kate and I flopped on the asphalt and stared at the black tree framed sky.

Yes the sunrise was absolutely gorgeous but it was the detour, rather than the main attraction that I loved the most.
