How is it that I can wait one entire month to post the details from our last day on honeymoon, but I can't hold out long enough to avoid burning myself on my coffee/pizza/cheesy potatoes?
Truth be told, I had two Spotted Cows our last evening in Ephraim, and thus was not in any shape to write a blog. But I came back to finish because it was entirely my favorite day.
It was our last full day of vacation, and I woke up a little pessimistic. It's the same feeling I frequently have on Sunday evenings, where it's hard to make any effort because I know tomorrow will just be life as usual again.
Anyhow, I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't think about anything past supper and thus wouldn't think about the long drive home or the many chores waiting on our arrival.
It was our day to finally rent bikes and cruise around Peninsula State Park. After having failed to rent them the previous day on Washington Island - and getting picked up by the cops - there was no way we were going to walk today.
We checked in at Edge of Park and picked up what appeared to be bicycles made for Miss Daisy. They were suprisingly comfortable, and fast. Nathan proceeded to break all the rules by not riding single file, coasting down steep inclines with no breaks, taking shortcuts and buzzing my tires. This, I told him, is why we can't have kids yet.
The trail rambles through the huge park, coming close to the shore of Green Bay sometimes and then veering off again into the woods. It felt good to pedal hard up the hills and ride back down on momentum, to take in the lake views and do figure-eights in the empty boat parking. It felt like we were just two kids off on a big adventure.
