June 29-30, 2013
This weekend, we loaded up our “old school” bikes and headed for the beaches of Ocean Shores, WA to visit Eric’s parents. Lucky us- they have a home just minutes from the ocean.
Eric’s dad turned the big 8-0 on Saturday. Happy Birthday, Darrel!
Once we arrived, we were eager to get down to the sand.
Eric got busy pulling various toys out of Darrel’s storage shed…
Skimboard
“My board matches my boardshorts”
Surfboard
“My shorts keep falling down, but it’s good out there!”
Meanwhile, I walked the beach…
Sunday morning, we enjoyed a 15.5 mile bike ride with Darrel. This is where the “Fit at Eighty” comes in!
Notice the mother-in-law theme here:
- Eric rode a Bianchi bike that came from his mother-in-law (my mom).
- Darrel rides an old Raleigh Colt that belonged to his mother-in-law (Eric’s grandma).
We stopped along the way to enjoy the views.
(Not every summer day at Ocean Shores is quite this perfect! It can be quite cold and foggy.)
I didn’t ride my mother-in-law’s bike. I rode the blue Schwinn beach cruiser that we found several years ago at a thrift store for $14.99.
My back was in perfect comfort, but the seat felt so bulky that it was like I had a big diaper between my legs. HA!
Bye-bye beach!
Finally– no vegan blog post would be complete without some vegan food. I worked up an appetite!
Here’s the GF (Gluten Free) Power Plate that I had from the Veggie Grill on the way home.
