We went on a bike ride Saturday on the canal trail. It is such a fun ride. The trail is pretty level so it makes for an easy ride. It is also unpaved. On the way back we got caught in a thunder storm. To say the least we were pretty muddy by the time we got back to the car. Luckily we had brought a change of clothes.
Ok. Here is one for you. We went on a great bike ride last night at Great Falls. It takes about 45 minutes to get there. It is along the canal and since it was a week night not too many people. It is a pretty even trail, so we are just riding along. Bikers pass us, a jogger passes us, so daddy said the next time we go to the bike shop he is going to ask them why are bikes don't go as fast as the others. Anyway we had a good time and took a picnic.
We had a fun weekend. We went to Great Falls National park. It is all along the old canal. They have a boat you can ride on that gives you an idea how going through the canal locks are. It is pulled by mules. We went to Gettysburg on our weekly bike ride, and a nice woods walk on base.
Thanks to Lisa now all of our family will know what we are doing. We sort of have a crazy life going on. I am back in DC with Papa. It feels familiar and I am glad to be back with Rich. Yesterday Sat. June 7 we got up and drove to Gettysburg which is only about an hour and half. Rode our bikes. It was fogging but there is such a quite feeling there. Even when there are crowds of people. Rode into town and got pancakes at the Lincoln diner. Then rode back up to the park and the car. It is hilly so at places we got off and walked. Then we drove about 28 miles up to Carlisle PA, to the all Ford National car show. Tons of cars all of them Fords. Not too many Fairlanes our year. But it is amazing how much money people put in to them. They had old cars, newer cars. Anykind of Ford you would want to see. It was a very hot day. Probably in the high 90's, so we were glad to get back to the air conditiond car. Rich and I both love going to Gettysburg.
Before I came up here, Kam and I had our huge project the deck to finish. We did finally did. Kam worked hard and many long hours working on it. But I love it so much. I painted it a cedar color. Even though we left a lot of the old boards it still looks pretty good. So I have to give a huge thanks to Kam for working so hard.
