Tonight we took the night off from any and all chores and went for a leisurely bike ride down Sawyer Camp Trail.  We’ve been busy running around so much the past few weeks that my bike seat actually felt a little foreign.  But not in a good way. 🙂  It’s 13 miles R/T end-to-end, but we took plenty of breaks to stop and take in the scenery.  Here are a few shots.

It’s a gradual uphill climb on the way out, which means, of course, that it’s downhill on the way back.  I was cruising at a pretty good clip when I saw these little guys in the middle of the trail and had to slam on the brakes.  They were more curious than scared, I think.  Check out the video and you’ll see that they let us get pretty close.

Check back this weekend for a special Guest Blog appearance.  JP’s going to the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Thursday night to eat dessert for dinner…

Hipahipa!  (“Cheers” in Hawaiian)
