Long walks

Today was an exciting day for AnnMarie and me.  We first started our day meeting Andrea and Ava at Taco Time for lunch.  We then decided to go walking along Chamber's Bay.  We thought about walking the whole long walk, but decided maybe next time.  It was a beautiful day for walking, and although windy, we became hot very fast.  After finishing the almost 3 mile walk, Andrea and Ava had to go home.

We drove home too, but our walking wasn't done.  I decided to see if I could make it to my mom's house, only 1.6 miles away.  The first two minutes were full of hills, mostly steep downhill, but still a workout.  I (we) made it to my mom's house in just under 30 minutes.  I was sore and tired when I got there, so we stayed for about an hour and a half.  I thought I was ready to walk back home, but about 2 minutes into the walk, I realized maybe we should have gotten a ride home.  I decided to push through.  I didn't realize there were so many hills on the way home.  It seemed like no matter which way I tried to go to avoid a hill, there would be another, more steeper hill.  I should have just gone back the way I came.  At least there was only one very steep, but short hill.  The route I chose had at least 3 steep hills, including one very long hill that seemed to go on forever.  This was a mistake.  I will never choose that route again.  Heck I may never decide to walk home from my mom's again.  I think I 'll take the ride thank you very much!

After what seemed liked forever, we made it home, in just under an hour this time.  I'm now very tired, and will probably not be able to walk in the morning.  But we enjoyed the sunshine, so it was worth it.  AnnMarie is now wide awake, she slept the whole walk.  Luckily she's playing under her play mat, so I can rest for just a few minutes at least.
