Beauty

Along with our attempt to be more active we are trying to be more conscious of how we spend our money. We are not, not doing things in this effort, just watching what we already do and try and save a little moolah.
Last weekend was the Boat Show (The Boat Show, The Boat Show, the big Seattle Boat Show) hahaha.
Anyways... we love going to this every year, we normally purchase our tickets way in advance online and receive free parking, although this year they didn't have that offer, it actually cost you more money to pre-purchase tickets... and where is the advantage to that? So we decided to park at our marina in Seattle and ride out bikes to the Lake Union Boats A Float, and then take the free shuttle ride to Qwest field for the Boat Show.
Great idea! We had so much fun, the ride from our marina to Daniel's was simple, flat and perfect. After the disappointing Boat Show (nothing really grabbed us this year).

We hopped on our bikes and decided to go for a longer ride. We passed our marina and continued to follow this great trail that followed along the lake, we rode in to Ballard, watched the sunset and just marveled in so many things that we see every day but look so different. Like the way the sun setting lights up the buildings surrounding the lake and makes them look like gold treasure. The way a bare tree looks up against a falling building cover in art. The blare of a sailboats horn to signal the opening of the bridge. The way other bikers ride by you with such ease. The sound of your chains changing gears. Looking over and seeing Dennis' smile. The feel of the wind in your face.

Picture stop, had to get the bikes and space needle in.

I know that I am loving the times that we spend together, we laugh more, connection is growing and every day when Dennis calls me at work he asks where we are going to ride to that night.

Last night we took the bikes out again to do more training with Burton to run along side us. After coming to some very close calls with the cars, he finally started to get the hang of it. I think a trail ride is much better than the urban stroll!

We will be back at it tonight :)
