Today, the girls and I tackeled something a bit ambitious. Mark is on the road again, and we were looking to do something fun outdoors, so I decided to give Nina her first try on the W&OD trail on a beautiful Saturday morning. The idea was good, and she was very excited, but the high volume of serious racing bikers on the trail was a bit nerve wracking for her. She's a good bike rider, and she rides a large bike for her size so she gets going pretty fast, but she still rides with training wheels and is a little nervous with fast riders and big hills. I jogged with Lyla in the stroller, and I was actually surprised that Nina was able to bike as far as she did. We went several miles.
We only stopped once for a water and granola bar break. I was actually prepared to have to stop a lot more, but I was proud of Nina for wanting to keep riding even when she was a little nervous.
After we dropped the bike and the stroller back off at the car, I took them over to get some of the best bread on earth, the Star Spangled Swirl from Great Harvest Bread Co., then the girls played on the train car for a little while before heading home.
