We always get Marathon Monday off here in Boston. It's called Patriots Day. Today we hooked up the bike trailer for a maiden voyage.
The kids liked it ok. Abraham commented that next time he needs to bring a pillow- I guess it's because he fell asleep and his neck looked like it was bent in half. We hauled everyone to a playground in the South End where we could get coffees and chased them around trying to get them to eat lunch. Mom actually came with us--many Bostonians won't even ride bikes around town--so we were pretty proud of her.
On the ride home we pedaled past the site of a shooting that had occurred twenty minutes earlier--apparently a fight broke out during a friendly b-ball game. So, we had to dodge the police tape, police car and crowd in the middle of the bike path.
