mini vacation

While Jake was away, Brian and I headed to York on his bike. That’s right–I left mine at home. I’m not quite ready for prime time yet. We left at lunchtime on Sunday and arrived in York just before supper. We went out to eat with my friend Laura at a really nice restaurant called El Serrano. It was great to see her again as it had been a long time. After dinner and the chit-chatting was over, Brian and I hung out in the hotel room and read for a little bit. Then we went to a restaurant by the hotel and had a nightcap.

On Monday morning, we went to the Harley Davidson factory and signed up for the factory tour. While we were waiting for our turn, we checked out the little Harley museum they had. Among other things, they had all sorts of bikes you could sit on. It was pretty fun. I tried to get Brian to sit in a sidecar they had displayed, but he wouldn’t go for it. He’s a party pooper. In the meantime, he took pictures of me on every bike I sat on. Lucky for you, you’ll be spared from all but one of them in our slide show. We didn’t get a lot of pictures this trip, but that’s because cameras were not permitted in our main focus, the factory tour. It is unfortunate they don’t permit photography on the tour because it was really something to see, but I guess I can understand why they don’t.

Today could hardly be called vacation, but we didn’t work, so I guess it was a vacation for us. The day started off by picking the pups up from the Cozy Inn. Next up was a nice bike ride up 271, turning around at the Laurel Trail. This time, I did ride my own bike. We stopped for pizza at Pizza Man’s on our way home. A little later, we ran over to Sam’s club to pick up some stuff. They had a coupon in last week’s paper for a one day membership. I was there one other time, but I didn’t have as much fun this time. Perhaps it was because we were in a hurry because Brian had a meeting set up for 4:00. Anyway, I think I’m good on Sam’s Club for a while. I do wish we had a Costco around here, though. After supper we went outside and trimmed the hedges. That took the rest of the evening and here I am now. Do I really have to go to work tomorrow?
