lazy, busy weekend

This was one of those really lazy weekends in some ways, but also somewhat busy. Saturday we spent in Norfolk, eating at California Pizza Kitchen, and then heading to the Botanical Gardens. We only had an hour and a half there, but that was enough. We should have gone earlier in the season, when all the flowers were blooming, but we had a nice stroll through the gardens. It was basically a walk through nicely cultivated nature.

Sunday was simultaneously lazier and more strenuous. After watching both Ghostbusters movies (AMC was having a "Bill Murray" marathon, but we didn't stay tuned for Stripes and Caddyshack), we got off our butts to head to Yorktown by bike. This was about 26 miles roundtrip, and it was great on the way there. The way back was much more uphill, and thus, way more tiring. But it was a nice visit to Yorktown, even though we didn't stay long. We got smoothies at Ben & Jerry's (shut up), and strolled a bit on the beach before biking around the town a bit. Enough time to enjoy it, but also it was great getting home, so I could collapse and not move the rest of the night.

I was proud I could do it, but at the same time I am not in shape at all!

Yet.
