Biker Baby

We paid a visit a couple weekends ago to REI, one of our favorite outdoor gear stores, and picked up a bike trailer for the baby. After all, they were having a pretty good sale! Specifically, we bought the Burley d'Lite, a trailer that can accommodate two children and comes with an adjustable sun/wind screen and what can be best described as a small trunk. We took our maiden voyage last Friday, and the little one seemed to really enjoy himself. He was at least comfortable enough in the trailer to sleep through the second half of the ride. The next day, we decided to take a longer ride, so we headed out to the BWI Trail. We took a short ride on the trail over to the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, which we rode south for four or five miles into downtown Glen Burnie. There, we stopped to see a sculpture that my father's company had built last year and was installed on the trail at the first site in a series of stops along the new Planet Walk exhibit. On the way back, the baby fell asleep in the trailer again!
