Walking to Disney: Oh, the places to go!

Mom was able to come over tonight and sit with the six year old for a couple hours, so I was able to sneak one more long walk in before the end of the year. I was so excited!! I was practically running to get out. It's been way to long since I could walk for more than an hour.

My husband and I walked out of the house and he asked where I wanted to go. Everywhere! I want to go everywhere!! Let's go downtown... No. Let's go to Krape Park... No. Let's do a loop through downtown and then out to Highland and then loop around Krape Park... Oh, wait. There's not enough time for that. Maybe next time.

We settled with just a nice wandering walk. If we wanted to turn, we did. If there was a street we had never been down, we took it. If there was no sidewalk, we went anyway.... just more carefully. It was a great way to end the year.

So, Happy New Year's Eve from Pretzel City...

We passed through Read Park as the sun was setting. It was beautiful. Did you know the park has been around since the 1920's?

The ice rink/basketball courts are newer. I love that the Park District keeps it clean and usable. It's are hard to see in the fading light, but there were a group of guys out there playing hockey tonight. That's definitely one way to ring in the New Year. Although, who am I to judge? I am excited about taking a two hour walk.

Read Park also has a skate park. I have not been on it, but honestly, one of these days I am just going to get on it in my street shoes and have fun running up and down the ramps and jumping around like a lunatic. Maybe I will take the 6 year old. She can give me street cred.
