Bike the Drive

For Christmas this year, Chris bought me "Chicago Experiences". A membership to the Art Institute, tickets to the John Hancock observatory (live here 9 years and have never been!), a few I'm blanking on (but bet they were good and memorable!) and tickets to Bike the Drive!

Every year they shut down the 15 miles of Lake Shore Drive (road that runs along the lake) and let bikers have it as a bike trail for the morning. At the time, we thought it would just be the two of us biking like old times. But 5 months later found us the night before - unprepared and quickly trying to tune-up C's bike, find Nick's bike helmet, find who sells infant helmets, buy an infant helmet, buy Nick another helmet bc we can't find his, find a kiddie trailer and get biking!


We got out onto the drive and wow-freedom! It was awesome. Peri wasn't too happy about wearing her helmet. Even when we explained that daddy bought her the one with cupcakes on it! Nick was into it and was our photographer for the morning.


Looking forward to making it a Memorial Weekend tradition.

1. I think the helmet would have been a bigger hit if those cupcakes were in her hand instead of on her hat.
2. Little mans cast is bigger then he is!
3. I keep wanting to do this one time while I'm in Chicago...
