The other morning I was taking a reservation from a mom in Colorado. After we covered the usual stuff about where to ride bikes, exploring Sears Island, kayaking and where to find skateboard parks.

Life in Bullet Points

We’re stuck in a weird weather pattern…sunshine, rain, sunshine, rain, fog, sunshine…it’s only good because if you’re bored with the weather, walk from one end of the park to the other and you’ll see a change.
