I cant believe I just did that!

Today was a rainy grey day.  But we could not sit inside so my son and I got on our bikes and rode to Starbucks about a mile away.  That is about as far as I have been on a bike in 15 years.  But once we got to Starbucks we decided to ride to the next town over.  Neither of us really had any idea how far it was.

But there is a nice trail to the next town.  Its not paved and uphill the whole way but we set off anyway intending to go until we were to tired and then come home again.  Well we made it the whole way.  We had an Ok lunch and came home again.

I googled the route when I got home and found out it was 8 miles round trip.  Not bad! 

The best part though was when my son (he is 11) said, "these are the kind of days  I will remember for the rest of my life" .  Sweet kid.  We had  a great time and have made a pact to do it again.  Perhaps next weekend.

That is so cool, especially what your son said.  Keep it up!

That's a really sweet story :)

Makes me want to go do something unexpected. What amazing bonding potential!

That`s such an amazing story! :) The best proof that it doesn`t take a family feast for people to form bonds. Making it into a habit would be the coolest thing ever.
