7-Bridge Bike ride

7-Bridge, 7mi San Diego Bike Ride

We had read about a 7-bridge *hike* but we wanted to do it on bikes. It was a perfect day for exploring SD on wheels today. Our lineup was similar to the one in the article, but we modified it a bit because we were on bikes instead of foot. I think our favorites were the suspension bridge #2 and truss bridges #3 and #4. If you're local, you'll recognize #5 as the arch bridge at Balboa Park. Highly recommend!

Go-cart

We seriously have the BEST neighbors.  The Eurys are so good to us… they let us swim in their backyard pool on super hot August days, and they let us have some serious fun with Conrad’s go-cart.  We all loved it!
