A ride

We took a ride on our tandem bike on Sunday afternoon. It was a great way to end a very rough weekend.



You can probably tell from the picture that this is not us...our bike is blue.
Why this matters: this was a huge hurdle since we haven't been out on it all year. I don't mean all season either, I mean all of 2013.
The only reason we went is because I did a foolish thing and planned a scenic ride in the car to a nearby lake within the national forest...bought the pass on line and everything. Of course we realized after the purchase that the federal shutdown means parks are, yep, closed, too. So that drive never happened.
We miss our kids, and our grandkids...basically all family. We have some light at the end of the tunnel with some visits planned real soon including Noah this weekend and Stephanie and Elijah in a week and a half. We also had a sample recently with the Goodliffes having visited.
Happy Monday.
