Susan and I both like Bellingham a lot, and with grandson Jaydon living up in Ferndale (ten or fifteen minutes north of B'ham), we get there fairly often. Before we left for France, we visited and found EVERYBODY BIKE, a summer series of social, easy bike rides on fun routes around Bellingham. The five to eight mile rides are perfect for (Susan) pulling Jaydon in the "Chariot" trailer, and Jaydon loves it! Often he falls asleep during part of the ride, but we love it too!
Our Saturday ride took us on a "library loop" to visit "different" libraries. We rode to what I can only describe as a pocket library which was one divided room where one orders/requests books, a few computers, wifi, and an attached coffee shop; then we rode on to the upstairs library of the RESources Sustainable Living store. Bellingham is a very Green city, so this ReSupply store selling used and recycled building supplies and other home hardware is nothing special to much of it's community, but a boon to walk through for us. Our ride leader, Linda, had arranged a tour and talk at each stop (see Jaydon "listening" to the talk).
One of the riders always brings her raccoons on the rides and Jaydon liked them.
We bought Tour d'France shirts when we were in France (we bought them in Italy actually).
I usually go for about an hour walk in the morning when we are at Sarah and Jeremy's, and Susan has not ever joined me as she is more of a jogger. But Jaydon adds another dimension, and for my Sunday morning walk, the three of us walked together for the first part of my usual route. That meant a stop at the park ;'-)
