norwalk
yesterday we took to connecticut.
amanda, josh, and ivy came into town (dale's sister and family.)
norwalk was the town.
train rides were our means of transportation.
lucky for us we chose the wrong stop.
the wrong stop by 4.5 miles.
the next bus wasn't for an hour and a half.... longer than the amount of time it would take us to walk.
so we walked.
we got a little cocky about our nyc lifestyle.
we walked to grand central from our house so what's 4.5 miles....
now i am a firm believer that the best way to see a city is to walk it-
but perhaps 2 miles or maybe 2.5 miles.
but we took to the streets.
we had to stop 3 times.
1. dairy king- ice cream for all those calories we were burning a half mile into our "walk"
2. 7/11 for a big gulp- because 2 miles into our walk we were about to die of thirst.
3. a second hand child's clothing store- because cheap clothing is a must stop on a walkabout.
we had some other fine adventures after meeting up with the crew.
here are some pics of how norwalk really lived up to it's walking name.

how mary rode
some of the sites
i love yellow brick
if this were a house
i would make it mine.
a walk oasis
a stare down prior to a feast
an old mini woman swimming joy
a teeny swimming acrobat
daredevil cousins
duo is better than single
water cousins
after running and slipping more times than i would like to mention
mary gave up the acrobats
we took a late night shuttle to the train stop
mares was extra well behaved
10:40 train= party animal floors up
a sprint hall with spectators
we love late night parties
it was a crazy day adventure.
norwalk was a fine place for a walk.
the highlights:
a cousin (and her parents)
a swimming pool
fine cuisine
a big gulp spill in the second hand store....
dairy king
walking ~7 miles in one day and being humbled.
an after midnight home arrival via train/subway/shuttle ride
what more could a person ask for
happy week every one
hope you find an adventurous walkabout to take on. (and maybe wonder if you wanted to)
