@Taking a quick look at the forecast we didn’t notice that it was going to be WINDY. The wind was coming out of the south which meant we were walking directly in to it!
We weren’t the only ones out there. Although, this Mother and child were going with the wind in the opposite direction. So why didn’t we turn around? Well the restaurant where we wanted to eat lunch was in the direction we were walking.
We passed a group of people taking a Spin Class,
and a basketball game going on under the bridge. Tom loves basketball so I had a hard time coaxing him to continue walking.
We noticed a new Kayak launch area…although no one was using it,
and several colorful murals.
We made it to the restaurant. Had a light lunch and the walk back to the car was much more enjoyable since the wind was at out backs. We logged 4.5 miles in all and were proud of ourselves for going, but will look at the entire weather forecast next time!
That's a good walk! We don't usually go that far but we stop and take pics a lot too. And the wind really was gusty! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThose are serious gusts.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it back safely.
It was supposed to be windy here yesterday but it was not at all and we managed to go biking for the first time since December 26. A total of 22 miles we rolled and it was so lovely.
Today started out foggy, we had both a doctor (me) and dentist (Pieter) appointment so we did that and it changed to being nice and sunny. But surprise, rain in the afternoon!
It is not YET spring...
Hugs,
Mariette
You got to see a lot on that windy walk. The weather is due to change again I hear.
ReplyDeleteYou had quite a walk. It is always hard with the wind coming at you. I love the photos you shared. Thank you.
