The Bikes! May 27, 2010

I got back from a quick trip to visit the In-Laws up in Fernandina Beach yesterday and Rod hadn't gotten off work yet.  So I unloaded and was really pleased to find out he would be off on Friday!  When I left to go up North on Tuesday, it had been planned the other way around, but, one of Rod's co-workers had a death in the family...so it all worked out. 

Rod's Dad is doing great!  He is much more mobile than he was the last time I saw him which is both good and bad for Cody.  She worries, of course, about him doing too much and then getting hurt or sick again.  I got to see Deb and Jan...and Pam and George.  Pam's new garage apartment near Deb's house is cute and will work out nice for their trips to Fern from Alabama.

So anyway, when I got home Rod mentioned taking the new $10 bikes out for a spin.  I thought about going through the tennis center, but, he had another trip in mind--out to Universal Studios to have a cocktail and an appetizer at Margaritaville!  Getting there was interesting--we didn't have any bike cables yet, so, we ended up leaving the bikes in a rack in one of the garages before walking over to the bar. 

The Margaritaville Kid was playing and we enjoyed his music, a rum runner, a glass of tea and some nachos before braving the heavy afternoon traffic to get back to the house.  The only problem was when my Cubs Croc came off in the middle of an intersection.  Luckily the light stayed red long enough to rescue it and get across the intersection! 

Note to self:  Use the straps the next time you are riding!!!
