Adventure Season has Officially Begun!

Last summer my friend, LC, and I decided that there are too many things to do in VB to have a boring summer so we started going 'on adventures'.  We live so close to the oceanfront but never partake in the touristy activities.  Last summer we: went rollerblading, rented beach cruisers, visited the botanical gardens, and she was even my bike buddy when I did my 20 mile marathon training run.  We were a little worried this summer because I'm pregnant and we're not going to be able to do certain things.  That is not going to stop another summer of adventure from happening! 
We have already walked at the botanical gardens and today we went on our first beach cruising tour of the oceanfront/First Landing State Park.  After popping into Starbucks we jumped on our beach cruisers to set off on our first adventure.  The plan was to ride from 31st to 64th street, into First Landing State Park to the boat launch, head back down the oceanfront and over the Rudee Inlet bridge, and then back to 31st street.  We probably set ourselves up for failure from the get-go.  LC was not dressed for super hot weather, we did not bring ANY water with us, and never checked to realize that the heat index was near 100 degrees.  All was well for the first three-fourths of the ride and then came the bridge.  Let's just say we went over one side and barely made it back over the other.  In total we rode about 12 miles.  It was so hot that I got into a condo complex's decorative fountain to cool off and we stopped at a few beach showers to jump in fully clothed.  Bottom line is that we survived.
I have also decided that I need my own beach cruiser.  I know Hub doesn't want me to get one because my race bike is currently in our garage collecting dust, but LC brought a good point today.  Next summer I'm going to want to put a baby carrier thing on the back of my bike so that I can ride the child around.  Ah ha!  She also said that since I'm pregnant I should get whatever I want.  I don't think that's going to work yet though since I'm still not showing.  I don't think the sympathy gifts and back/foot rubs will come until I'm much larger.  Either way, if I come home with a beach cruiser what's he going to do?  Make me return it?  I think not.
RH - if you're reading this.  You need to show up with a puppy.  NH will have to let you keep it then :)
