The Famous Twenty Mile Bike Ride

A year ago today, Tyler and I went on a bike ride. A really, really long bike ride. Luckily, December is warm enough in Pasadena to take bike rides. I miss those days...

Anyways.

We went here: 


This is an outdoor shopping center.  Pasadena doesn't have a very good Christmas atmosphere, so we retreated here for the evening. 
They even make fake snow that occasionally blows around. It really is beautiful.

The distance form our Apartment to Glendale was about 8 miles (one way). It didn't take us too long to get there, because most of the the trip was downhill, which means the trip back was all up hill. This will forever be a cherished day for Tyler and I because it was the last date we had together before Landon was born.

We walked around the shops, saw little kids dressed to see Santa Clause, and we sat on the balcony of a book store that overlooked the beautiful Christmas tree and lights. We even splurged and bought a pretzel from the Wetzel Pretzel stand.  

After we biked there and back, we decided to bike around Pasadena to see the few houses that were decorated for Christmas. We biked a total of about twenty miles that night and it was blissful. 

The next morning, the contractions started...
