Yesterday was a great spring day and I am thankful to have been alive for it. It had everything in it a great spring day needs to have in it.
- My fiancé was gorgeous in her floral skirt.
- The sermon at church was powerful and convicting.
- Spending time with a good friend is always high on my list of favorite things.
- Sunny. 75 degrees. Simpson's clouds. Cool Breeze.
- Morning Star spicy black bean burgers.
- 100 miles on my little scooter.
My roommate and I have the same sweet little scooter. A Yamaha Zuma. After church we decided to go on a little scooter adventure. After hitting up a few garage sales we realized that we were wasting a perfect riding say. So we decide to tackle the long coveted hundred miler.
When you top out at about 40 you have to be prepared for the long haul. It was an all day endeavor and I enjoyed every minute of it. A brief list of things that we did and saw:
- Theodore Wirth Park. I highly recommend taking a day to visit. I promise you will forget that you are 5 miles from downtown.
- Prospect Park. Home of the witches hat tower. Great at sunset with a pretty lady on your arm.
- Lake Minnetonka. All of it. So nice. Sweet houses. Money. Lots of money.
- Downtown Excelsior. Such a cool little town. Get custard at Adele's. You will thank me.
- Nicollet Ave. It actually ends.
We had a great day. Next on our list of places to tackle is Stillwater...and Wisconsin! My scooter has never been outside of MN. We will probably have to incorporate it into our 150 miler.
Wanna Come?

1. Custard at Adele's is THE. BEST. EVER. And, it's probably another reason that we might be kindred spirits even though we've never actually met face-to-face.......which leads me to point #2......
2. You and your scooter should absolutely explore Stillwater, it's wonderful. Even better is the fact that not only do I live in Wisconsin, but I live only 15 miles from Stillwater - so you can kill 3 birds with one stone here......tour Stillwater, ride in Wisconsin, and meet me. We should probably coordinate all of that with some sort of sweet game night with a bunch of our mutual friends - namely my sisters, Josh, Kyle and Julie, Bjorn and Aly, etc. Let's get it on the calendar :)
I call shotgun!
