A ride through the neighborhood

What can we say, another beautiful day was had here in the DFW Metroplex. Almost zero humidity, with highs in the low to mid 80's, a steady breeze, and not a cloud in the sky...could you possibly ask for better weather?

We thought not, and so decided to get up early this morning to get a workout in and go out to our favorite breakfast joint before heading outside for most of the remainder of the day.

While we're aware that we've been pretty harsh on Dallas' less than appealing weather since we've moved down here, we feel it's our responsibility to make sure we give it it's proper due when it is nice.

After breakfast, Chris finally got a pic of his favorite gay/lesbian poster in the neighborhood, which you can look at below. Chris' only regret is that the local lesbians don't more accurately resemble the ones portrayed in the poster.

Is a comment really needed here?

After Chris' photo frenzy was over, we headed out for a bike ride on the local Katy Trail. Chris has ventured onto this trail at night, but had yet to see it during the day. It's literally a 3-5 min. bike ride from our front door, so it was nice to not have to hook up the bike rack to get to the trail. The trail (a converted railbed) takes you through the Uptown area of Dallas and through Highland Park, the extremely posh area of north Dallas (think old oil money).

After heading north until the trail ended, we rode through some of the monstrosity residences that could easily be mistaken for churches, and then again headed south on the trail. The southern most tip of the trail ends on the west-end of downtown in a newly renovated area called Victory Park. Victory Park consists of a few architecturally striking buildings, among them the new W hotel, and the American Airlines Center (complete with moving stadium-size flatscreens that play music videos and short artsy videos as they move around you in the courtyard).

We then decided to head back home before the sun hit it's peak so we could soak up some rays by the pool. We figured we should probably try to work on a bit of a tan so that we don't completely get fried when we head down to Cancun in November for Ryan and Megan's wedding. Safe to say, Chris got pretty badly toasted.

So that was our Sunday...we hope all is well with everyone else.
