Getting outside for sunshine and fresh air is key for me to have a good day, and a good attitude. We found a park that’s just down the road from our place.
The park is small, and isn’t anything special, but it’s good to have a space near by. It’s behind an elementary school. You have to drive through the school’s parking lot to get to the park’s designated lot.
The park has one large loop that goes in and around some trees, and through open green space too. I can do two loops in about 15-20 minutes.
Derek and I went once together, and then I went a second time on my own when Derek was at work, which leads me to a silly little story.
Derek usually leaves for work around 2-3 p.m. I headed to the park at 2:30… and promptly got stuck in the parent pick up car line! There were two lines forming, and cars came in behind me, so I was unable to get turned around. So I sat. And I sat some more. Finally the kids came out at 3 p.m. Not being a parent, it had not occurred me that the school would let out at 3, and parents would line up so early at 2:30.
So the key is to go to the park after 3!
