Great Dismal Swamp Trail











On Sunday we took the boys to the Great Dismal Swamp Trail for a bike ride. This is a fabulous trail that runs alongside the Great Dismal Swamp. It used to be a highway, but they built a new highway and made it into a bike trail. It goes on for miles and miles all the way down into North Carolina. It's beautiful. I will miss all of the great parks and outdoor recreation that Virginia has to offer. It is a truly beautiful state.




Can you believe we fit all 4 bikes and the bike trailer in the van. I LOVE MINIVAN!
Andrew and Logan biked 3/4ths of a mile and then we turned around to go back to the van. Andrew was done by the last stretch of the mile and half trek for them, so it's a good thing we turned around. He was ready to just get off the bike and leave it in the middle of the road. We headed back to the car and hooked up the bike trailer to Marc's bike. Marc pulled the boys for the first five miles, and then we hooked up the trailer to my bike, turned around and I pulled them back for the last five miles. What a great day!
