Me with the Surrey
Almost like a Tuk-Tuk! We took this around on a 4 mile tour.Miles Today: 450
We had a better start today! We left at a quarter to 9 and drove until we got to Erie, Pennsylvania. There we stopped at Presque Isle State Park, a beautiful little peninsula jutting into lake Erie. There were beaches, woods, birds, monuments, and bike trails.
Much to my surprise, my mom suggested that we rented a surrey together. It was quite a contraption. It was like being in a landlocked paddle boat- we could both pedal at our own speed and I had control of turning. We biked about 4 miles together, probably never hitting more than 6 or 7 miles per hour, but having a leisurely jaunt around the park. We saw lots of Canadian geese and commented on all of the other bikers going around the park. There were tricycles, tandem bikes, cruisers, mountain bikes, road bikes... People were even renting roller blades to go through the park! It was quite a good place to get out and stretch our legs before continuing on into Ohio.
After sitting in the heat all day, we have decided to retire to the hotel for the night so I can not give you any updates
Mom on the Surrey
Happily pedaling along! of the Toledo region. My mom found a brochure for the Kitchen Aid museum that she wishes we had more time to explore. Apparently, Annie Oakley is also from this area. Oh well all things to explore for my next night in Toledo!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow. We booked a night at the Hilton in Chicago and will be doing a food tasting tour of the city for lunch. Less car and more exploring!
