The boyfriend and I went on a biking adventure & beach picnic last week! We put the bike rack on the car, stopped at a grocery store for supplies, and drove to Jamestown. It was lovely to drive over the bridge and see the ocean with the windows down. When we got there, we went to the beach first (Mackerel Cove), spread out blankets, took out the cooler, and brought books of course. We had a nice picnic of tortilla chips and grapes while reading.
After that we got on the bikes and rode all around the island. He lived there as a teenager so he knows his way around. One nice thing was when we rode by his old house and found a pine tree he planted in the backyard when his family first moved there. I am admittedly not in the best shape, having avoided exercise for the past three years, so biking wasn’t as easy as I expected… but it was still fun. And rewarded with ice cream.
The ice cream was eaten after we rode into town for lunch at a deli. Then we lingered around a bit, then got back on the bikes and took a very roundabout way back to the beach, where we lay around on blankets again and read more.
It was one of those excellent spilled-sunshine-on-the-road summer days. On the way back, boyfriend drove while I lazily looked out the windows, and was happy.
