So, out for an afternoon bicycle ride. It was nice and warm out and the fountains at the Washington State Department of Health were looking very inviting. No, I didn't. I headed back home to post this photo. We are heading north to Lynnwood this afternoon to visit family for a couple of days. I'll do my best not to miss a day. Have a wonderful sun filled weekend everyone.
Oh, and stay healthy. ;)

I know, the title sounds pretty dramatic doesn't it? I wish it was. Actually, the weather was so nice today that my wife and I decided to go on a bike ride after dinner. This walking/bicycling bridge crosses over Interstate 5. We managed to time it with the sunset.

Well, little did my wife know at the beginning of the day that she was going to end up with a new bike. She picked out this sexy machine made by Giant. Nice for crusin'. Being such a beautiful day we loaded it up along with mine and headed for the Chehalis Western Trail. We managed to put on about ten miles. A nice way to finish off the weekend.
Oh and ladies, be sure to check out the ultra cool pink water bottle holder. ;)

And a perfect day to take the kids and dogs and head for the Chehalis Western Trail. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's part of the "Rails to Trails" program. It was actually the Chehalis Western Railroad which operated from 1926 until the mid 1980's. Section by section it has been turned into a beautiful recreational paved trail for walkers, joggers, bicyclists, dog walkers and many others. The trail runs north and south through Thurston County. It eventually links up with other sections which go to Yelm and Tenino.
