My day off started with all the right things...fruits, vegetables, sunflowers, carmel rolls and coffee! I went on another biking adventure-this time at the Iowa Great Lakes. In a sort of spur of the moment plan, a friend and I headed to 'the lakes' on Thursday evening so we'd be ready early to try out all the bike trails at Okiboji. We planned to bike from Spirit Lake to Milford (20 m. round trip) in the morning. We fortified ourselves with the carmel rolls and coffee in the morning. It was a wonderfully cool morning and the bike trail up there is great. Lots of other people must have thought the same thing because there were plenty of people out and about-jogging, riding, walking, skating! They've planted wildflowers along the way and we aren't the only ones who enjoyed it-plenty of birds were singing to beat the band. At noon we enjoyed apples and a piece of chocolate, then more biking, some swimming, and a visit with friends. Then to top off the whole day we finished it off with a Bananas Napolean at Minerva's. Wow! It was a sweet sandwich of a day! I'll take a day off like that anytime.

Sounds like a trip to plan again for sure! Maybe even yet this summer?
