St. Simon Island with its quaint streets and great sidewalks make bicycling--as a family--a safe and fun activity. So we chose our last day there to rent bikes. The weather cooperated with perfect skies and temperatures!
Even Riley seemed to enjoy the ride (and didn't mind sharing "her" seat with Seth)!
We rode for about 4 hours, stopping at Christ Church and Wesley Memorial Gardens for about a half-hour. The church was not only lovely but while walking through the gardens, the church bells began to peal...I cannot describe how wonderful it felt to hear and see at that moment! A sweet moment to take a deep breath and Thank God for His goodness! I would have reflected a little more but the boys always seem to run in gear so we headed on the Fort, which unfortunately I have no pictures of.
I have not been on a bike (other than my boys' for VERY short periods of times for years so this pic was taken--maybe at the risk of peril to me--but this is how we rode that day. David leading way, with the bike trailer attached to his bike, Samuel and Zach next followed by me. I felt like my heart would overflow with love that morning with all those precious "guys" ahead of me --so vibrant and full of laughter! What a precious picture this is to me and will always bring back fond memories of our time together! Years ago, there was a popular song by Steve and Annie Chapman called When memories Turn to Gold. The older I get the more the really "get" the lyrics to that song...I have searched in vain but cannot find them!
I am so thankful for a wonderful, healthy week to spend with my family!

We are in Louisville today. My husband ran the Derby Marathon and as an added bonus we are staying with my parents. Tomorrow we are going to a FREE Point of Grace Concert at waterfront park .I really like POG music but have never seen them in concert. Anyway, I tried to find your song lyrics but the closest I came was the name of the CD Kiss of Hearts. Glad your vacation went well. Love, LINDA
I will send you some places at HH. We love going there and it is a great family place with bike riding trails all over the island etc...
We are a little bit further away than you guys (400 miles).
