The Bridge

Caroline and I took the boys on the bridge this weekend. We have been trying to do it for weeks, but our attempts were always foiled, either by the weather or massive lists of "Things To Do". So, thank you, Caroline, for calling Saturday morning. I would much rather do this than return something to K-Mart!! I'm so glad it worked out. And Reeves got to take his first trip in his umbrella stroller. I think (hope) he is more comfortable in it than in the car seat stroller. He had to be at least cooler on Saturday, as it was 70 something degrees. I love it because the handles are so much higher. Reeves no longer has Quasimodo pushing him along! We are looking forward to many more umbrella outings. Although, the jogging stroller does hold a great deal of appeal for these walks, as well...

The Junior

I just love walking (and occasionally running on) the new bridge. It is such a wonderful addition to our city. Everytime I go I take my camera because each time I'm up there things are changing. It has been fun to chronicle the demolition of the old bridges. I try to take a picture of Reeves in front of them each time, just to be able to show him that he was actually around when they were still up. I know we will still be talking about them when we are all rocking our great-grandchildren.
Mom and I went this past Sunday. We had a great, brisk walk on a cloudy cool afternoon. We had decided to walk the whole way over, so she met me in Mt.P, then we parked her car downtown. Perfect idea, right? Well, it is until you realize, as you are approaching the first tower, that the keys to my car are in my pocketbook, which is safely hidden in Mom's car, in the Cigar Factory parking lot! I am a testament to the fact that you become more absent minded after pregnancy. Needless to say, I ran back and got her car, and she and Reeves continued on to Mt.P. One of these days, I'll be able to go all the way over the Junior. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy my trips halfway up and halfway back!

We finally got to walk to new bridge. Reeves and I went with Caroline and Fordham. Unfortunately, Daddy was sick:( We had a great time. Reeves slept the whole way. I am glad we started in Mt. P. I would not want to walk back up that long incline towards the end! What amazing views from up there! Caroline was super sweet to be so patient with me as I stopped to take pictures all the time!! We had a great time and will definitely be doing it many more times. It will be fun to watch the old bridges disappear.
