Exploring The City

The day was so beautiful, we needed to get to the library with some books, and mom needed a workout.  So, we packed up the jogger and went on an adventure.  The library was a bit of a distance, but it turned out to be a great sight-seeing tour.  We are usually so busy driving by all these places in the car that taking time to look around proved quite fun.

Construction on the new hospital building is coming along.

Freeways are really fun to walk over (if you're not pushing the jogger).  I actually had the girls get out so they could watch the cars at the top.

Oh no!  The Police station!

And here is City Hall

We stopped on the Library grounds to picnic.  There is a grassy area with a fountain adjacent to the library.  This is a cool veteran's memorial that we've never seen.  We read all the bronze plaques that were dedicated from WWI through the Freedom Mission in Iraq.  What a cool thing we didn't even know was there.

Well, so much for our second Spring Break.  We got home and had a message on the machine from the school.  The CDC has cleared our school and has recommended that everyone report back to classes tomorrow.  I'm so glad we took advantage of the great whether today and explored our city a bit on foot!  It will be too hot to do that in the summer time.

How fun. That is a great thing to do with your kids. The weather here has been warm too. We can't wait for school to get out so we can enjoy!
