This last Saturday was a milestone for Pat and I. We went out - all out - for the first time since Finley was born. Aunt Moosh watched Finley (THANKS!) and we escaped for the afternoon/evening. Our neighbor Brooke organized a Pedal Pub for the neighborhood. Being rookies to the whole parenting game, we should have taken a clue from the veteran neighbors on this one - have family stay overnight to watch your kids so you could really cut loose and sleep it off the next day!
We had done the Pedal Pub 2 years ago around northeast Minneapolis, but this time we went around downtown (1st Ave, Nicollet Mall, St Anthony Main). It was hot and hard work, so we earned our good time.
We ended the night with a big bonfire at our backyard neighbors house and went to bed way too late.
The next morning made me realize why we won't do this for another year...ugh. As much as I complained, Pat ran over 20 miles that weekend and got up for a Muddy Buddy race at 5:30 the next morning. He took it like a champ and I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick :)
Oh well, Good Times!
