Default ---Sunday Breakfast Run---

The life of new parents doesn't afford a chance to ride the bike to breakfast very often, so when my wife asked to go on the bike while the little boy was with my mom I jumped on the opportunity.

35 mile run to Ballinger for some grub, then 60 or so miles goofing off after that. Back to the house before the temps were into that August high. Great way to start a Sunday!

Then you heard the big invisible anchor drop. Once the little ones come around take advantage of any little time you can. Gotta admit they are true Blessings.
Glad you two were able to get away and enjoy each other's company.

We still get a few weekends a year for an overnight trip together, but the little spontaneous trips like this are harder to come by.. Our son is truly a blessing I wouldnt trade it for anything.

You were man and wife before the youngn's, you need to go on a date once in a while and keep your marriage intact.

I love my son's and I love my grand kids, but, wife and I need our time together also. Just sitting in a restaurant having a drink and chat about our days goes a long way toward peace and harmony. We get so wrapped in the kids we tend to forget about each other.
Glad you were able to get out both of you, life is short, enjoy it when the opportunity arrises.

I have been married for 37 years to the same sweet gal, and together we have three children. What you did today, is exactly how we made it through 37 years together. never fail to take your wife out on a date, ever chance you get.

If you removed your bike, the cars and neon sign it would look like a pic out of the 1800's. Cool.

Oh yeah, and date specific flag....
