Let's go ride a Bike!



A couple of weeks ago Dan and I attended the wedding of the Great Bobby Jones.  It was beautiful and we had a good time.  We decided to make a "date" out of it since it was an early afternoon wedding.  Dan made reservations at a restaurant we have been wanting to try and we also planned to see a movie.  One of the funny things about our "short" courtship was that we really didn't have too much time to do classic date things like, Movies.  I think we have only gone to 2 movies together at this point.

Anyways...

On our way to the wedding, we were starving for lunch so we stopped at this little hole in the wall.  Weezys?  It was a cute little diner/bar and had really good food.  We were a bit over dressed... 



Trying to take a picture on "Route 66" is
difficult with a foot height difference
  After the wedding we had some time to kill.... so like any old married couple we headed to Target. 


We had a lovely "fancy" dinner at Andria's where we actually were not overdressed.  I had the scallops and Dan had a steak.  It was a cute little house converted into a restaurant and had excellent food.  It was hard to not be distracted by the older people sitting beside us as there was this one obnoxious woman saying things like, "If my baked potato is not steaming when it comes out i will send it back, you hear?" or after her friend opened her birthday gift, "That is a really nice gift, but you know what is the best gift? my Venetian glass earrings my daughter had flown in from Italy."   Gag!

 After dinner we had some more time to kill before the movie, DIvergent was playing.  So we did what any other old married couple would do... we went to Walmart! :-)
We have been looking for a bike for me since last summer and havent found one that met both of our requirements.  Dan's- a bike that shifted and I was tall enough to actually ride. And Mine- super cute and retro!  We actually found THE BEST BIKE at Walmart that night and to my surprise Dan had the bike rack in the trunk for just such an occasion.  


how else do you exit a store with a bike?



Don't I look adorable?

I am really enjoying my "new ride".  It makes me happy when I see it all bright and cheery.  Last Saturday we took it on our biggest adventure yet... a ride across town to the library! Family bike rides are the best. :-)

COLORS!

  2. I can remember those were some of the best times with dad. We would ride bikes to churchor the park or load them in the van and go to the park. Loved riding as a family. I can even remeber going to sunrise service at Morning Side park and stopping to get donuts and chocolate milk. Im sure your mom remembers. Love this blog.

    1. I agree Joanne. The family bike rides were the best! Dad with 3 or 4 kids behind him and one in the basket! I especially liked the special birthday ride on my birthday, just me and Dad. Glad the Liss family can start their own bike ride fun! Be safe!
