Perfect Day

You know how beauty pageants always ask the contestants to describe their ideas of a perfect date?

Whatever I would have said before wouldn't have been as good as my day today.

This morning began early (for vacation, not school days) and with a couple hours of practice.
Tyler was fishing at my park, so I made a trip down to the dock and gave him some freshly brewed coffee.
After practicing and fishing, Ty and I made pancakes for breakfast.
Then we played Battleship. (I won, best out of three. :)
Next we listened as my mom read three of Poe's short stories aloud to us.

We then devised a plan to go biking, and after packing lunches and doing three pet sitting jobs, we headed out. There's this very nice trail not too far from my house. Actually, it's a lot farther when you're self-propelled.
Overall, we biked about 20 miles today! Phew! I'm wiped out. Thankfully, we had a nice "lunch" break before heading back home. I loved our biking adventure! My friend, Erin, is really into biking, and after today I understand the draw. It was so fun!

This evening we went with my family to an open house at my high school piano teacher's house. It was great getting to see her and one of the girls from my high school quartet! How I miss those practices where we'd goof off and Ms. W would "yell" at us. :D

We closed off the evening by watching 9 by a crackling fire (courtesy of my dad).

Break has been awesome so far, but this day surpasses all of the previous ones.
