Pleasant Sunday

Written by

I had a nice weekend and I hope you did too! Sunday was an especially good day. It started off with a pot of coffee and some awesome homemade breakfast. The weather was nice, so my fiancée and I decided to go on a walk through the park. 

I wanted to check out the Freedom Trail near the Tallmadge Circle, but Mackenzie wasn't feeling it, so we visited Goodyear Heights Metro Park instead. We took a path which ran around Alder Pond and huffed it about two miles. That, to me, was enough to merit some ice cream, so that was our next stop. 

There's a Handel's shop north of the park near the Acme. As soon as we pulled into the lot, we could tell it was popping. It was one of the first really-nice Sunday afternoons of the year thus far, so it checks out that there was a substantial line and a decent wait to go along with it. Let me tell you, though, my cone was worth the wait! I tore up some birthday cake, and Mackenzie ordered an Oreo/vanilla/cookie dough flavored she enjoyed too. 

After that fun, her and I headed down to briefly visit with my mom and to pick up the old motorcycle. It lives at her place during the winter, but with the warmer weather coming around- it's that time. I'm pumped to have it around now, and next up to get going at her place will be the boat. The El Camino is just about ready for some warm weather cruising, too. That's all a topic for another blog, though. 

The simple things in life make me happy, and this weekend was full of those experiences. We didn't spend a bunch of money or go somewhere exotic, yet I felt fulfilled just living in the moment. It was truly a pleasant Sunday!
