Project 36Smile!
What do most Americans do when they come home for a long day at the office?
Sit their butts down on the couch, pop in their version of a healthy frozen meal and veg out in front of the TV.
Yesterday was a different kind of day for us.
Before Chris even got home, he sent me a text saying "Get your bike ready, let's go cruise around QA." You have no idea how happy that makes me. Chris and I were really active in Maui. How can you not be? It was 70 degrees and sunny, literally every day. So we would be running, swimming or body boarding at the beach every week. It was great!
I've kept up my running like a mother here, but Chris on the other hand is something else. He just can't get into it. Who knew that he would get into biking here?! He loves it! And you have no idea how happy that makes me! The fact that he wants to get out and go biking and actually enjoys it. He is like a little kid with a brand new toy—can't get enough.
It was such a beautiful day yesterday, we had to stop and soak up the view this Emerald City gave us on days of beautiful sunshine:
Like I always say, we're always on the mind set of "what's next? I need to get this done right now," mentality, so sometimes you NEED to stop and smell the flowers, enjoy the view and get your head out of the iPhone for more than two minutes. It wont kill you, I promise. Unplug for a little bit, take a deep breath and enjoy what life has given you.
I know we did.
And we might just do it again today.

View from Kinnear Park with the lovely, Seattle Center and Mt. Ranier
Us looking spiffy with our bike gear on.

BTW: You can burn anywhere from 200-700 calories depending on how light to vigorous you bike. Don't feel silly jumping on your bike! This is the most bike-friendly city I know. Save gas and enjoy the wind blowing through your hair. It's a great feeling!

The "S" in 36Smile resembles the "5" in 365 days a year.
