Bike Riding Isn’t Just for Kids

My daughter has a sleep study tonight (which my husband so graciously volunteered to attend!) so her week has already been altered. I’m not sure if she is going to school on Monday or Tuesday which won’t make her happy. Which alters my week too… But I’m optimistic. It’s really looking like spring here in Texas.
