Perks

We've moved! I'm sure this isn't as exciting to you as it is for us, moving for us means more than a change of address. As I'm sure you know moving involves more than packing boxes, it also involves unpacking boxes, just kidding. We all know there is more to moving than hauling your stuff across town. This month we moved for many reasons. One of which was to increase our walkability to.......anywhere besides the apartment complex. Our old place was on a highway, and while there were joys of living on the stadium route (again, kidding) we found we needed a little more room to stretch our legs, especially post baby. 

Let me also let you in on a little secret. Dan's dream is to lead a life where he doesn't own a car. He'd someday like to live in the heart of it, public transport taking him wherever he needed to go and the rest within walking distance. Can you see city living in our future? Our move this month brought us one step closer to his dream and one step closer to mine of taking babe for a walk without risking our lives crossing the 50mph highway traffic. I think Grandmas everywhere just breathed a sigh of relief. 

So if you're grandma or if you too like city living then this blog post is for you. This weekend we set out on our first "walkable" adventure to a nearby coffee shop for, you guessed it: coffee and some sausage biscuits :). 

And get this, there are even sidewalks for part of the way! You know its a good day when you find any sort of sidewalk, for any part of your adventure (they aren't a very high priority here I guess).

10 points if babe falls asleep on the walk home. Here's to many more walkable adventures.
