      Trail was excellent - my town has a well developed River walk, as does the next town east, but apparently there’s a trail connecting them! Runs right along the River so great scenery. I wasn’t looking for a hike so it’s nice and level, an easy walk.

      Funny you ask about the ice cream. All these years raising kids and I refused to let the frustrating times win. Now that they’re older, more independent, successfully raised, I commemorated challenges overcome by ordering “Exhausted Parent” - bourbon and chocolate chip!

      Edit: I don’t know how to refer to my kids anymore. They’re not little, but also not yet adult. Maybe I should say “teens”, hope I didn’t mislead. To be more specific: the younger kid graduated high school, has a summer job, and preparing for college in the fall. Huge milestone in parenting!

        That sounds like a great trail and it’ll be a really nice memory you’ll always have. And I totally approve of the ice cream choice. Your kids are doing amazing you must be so proud!
