Detour Around the Fix On I-196

With the closure of I-196, Nathaniel and I needed to find a new route to his school in the morning. While our usual route isn’t actually closed, it is an unofficial detour for the construction project. With a little creativity, Nathaniel and I have crafted a path that avoids most of the delays and actually comes in very close to the travel time of our usual route. Without further ado, here is our detour around the fix in I-196.

A Spring Walk downtown

A warm March evening inspired the Vedders Family to take a walk down town.  The boys started out on their scooters and Mackenzie slept in her stroller while Monica and I walked behind.  Other than some tired feet (and some blistered feet :( ) everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  For our first real walk outdoors we did pretty well, 2.27 miles in 59 minutes.  Thanks to Motion-X GPS, some stats from our walk are listed below.
