My Shiny New Green Bike!

Da, da, da, DA! Here it is...Nicole's shiny, new, green bike! After talking about getting me a bike for years, Jon and I finally made the purchase. It's a hybrid (commuting bike, a cross between a road and mountain bike) Norco, purchased from a local bike shop, special ordered with a custom short size frame for me...and IT IS GREEN! I LOVE IT! We've ridden to Red Hook Brewery twice. Last weekend, Gretchen, Ryan, and Addi joined us. This shot of me and my new ride was taken AFTER beer consumption!

And Nachos...
Addi doesn't like beer!
Jon and his friends Ryan and Addi. He's wearing his green Guinness shirt, but not his FAVORITE green Guinness shirt. He spilled coffee on it earlier that morning and had to change! :)
Nickel (that's what she calls me) and Gretchen, Seattle Besties!
Here's Daddy, Addi, and the bike trailer. Addi did NOT enjoy her ride and SCREAMED most of the way. Maybe bumps, 90 degree temperatures, and age 5 months were all factors in her displeasure.
Gretchen adores her blue Cruiser, but discovered it's not really the best for long distance!
Addi and Auntie Cole! What summer fun! I'm hoping to have more adventures on my new bike during our Olympic Peninsula camping trip, so stay tuned!
