today I biked for lunch :D

Just did a quick little 13 mile bike ride to the bike shop .... Saved on gas $!

Which hopefully makes up for the $90 I just dropped on this new helmet

Friday Fun Day!

spent a couple of hours riding on a perfect perfect day!:

did I mention it was perfect?

and a couple of more hours at our first Sunset Party of the season, with Grandma and Grandpa! 

Did the 15 mile round trip tour to my parents' Sun City home

...half of it with Fairy Girl (and half the ride is through Sun City)....I rode home in the rain and she found new transportation....oh, and she lost a "vampire" tooth at Grandma and Grandpa's. They were fighting over whose pillow it will go under tonight

today was FUN!

We went for a bike ride AND decorated our tree....I don't think I've ever decorated a tree and took a bike ride on the same day before...doesn't quite work out that way in Wisconsin :D

  
we even took a break from our bike ride for a late lunch/early dinner....outside!

 this is our new favorite local place!  We were here two days in a row and I ordered the exact same lunch (eggplant parm sandwich with caesar salad :D )
 

and then we headed down to our beloved May River....



So GRATEFUL!

Sunday Fun....

Wonderful bike ride today through our local national wildlife preserve topped off with a cozy camp fire....and the icing on the cake....as I was driving onto the bridge, a dolphin jumped into the air, parallel to me....so amazing!'n

Today's nature ride....you know you're in for a great day when you cross the bridge to go onto the island, and a dolphin jumps up into the air parallel to you!!!! 

a beautiful day!

Biking through our beautiful little coastal town. Stopped for lunch (salads and pizza for the youngest) in Old Town. Passed one recumbent !!! First one I've seen around town....wondering if there's a special bent wave? (like the Harley wave;). Beautiful day!!! So grateful for these special family times.

 


Last stops: Our beautiful May River; historic Heyward House to visit my friend; and Sippin Cow for some ice cream:)
 










So Grateful!

new mommy brag book, continued:) Sunday fun on my new Bacchetta:)

isn't she a beauty;)  Pround mommy:)  (recumbent owners tend to have a lot of pride in their bents:)

Week one with the new Bacchetta:

She is loved! I opted for a SWB so I can fit it into the back of my Sienna and so I can do some "off-roading".... Landed at Bull Point, overlooking Skull Creek on Hilton Head Island. I am sitting here watching shrimp boats and dolphins;). Welcome to biking in the Lowcountry!




 

I feel like I should give her a name :D
