What a glorious day to spend at my favorite place in Seattle, Discovery Park. The weather today was sunny, 57 degrees, and beautiful. John was working today and I was geared up to go on a big walk by myself, bringing along my cell phone and my Ipod in case I got lonely or needed help:) The trees were starting to bud and the spring flowers were beautiful. I heard the birds singing and saw about 100 sailboats racing on the sound. I think I would live right next to the park if I could. I thought I could do the 5 mile loop no problem, I mean, I am walking after all not running. I got about half way and I was both tired and hungry. So I laid down on a bench and took a break. The last haul up through the meadow was exhausting but wonderful. Next time, I will at least pack a snack and some water but maybe it will be when I have a little guy strapped on my back (or someone else:) instead of in my belly. I am thankful for this place to be "out of the city" without going too far. I didn't take these pictures myself, but this is what the park looks like in case you haven't have the opportunity to visit lately.
5 miles? I can't walk through the grocery store without having contractions! I would love to go walking in a beautiful park like that. It must have been a great day. I'm also hoping that I can get out and walk/jog around after the baby. Take care!
