Walking

This morning started out early because we had to bring Darrick to the ship this morning, he is out to sea this week again and will return on Friday. Even thought it is hard to roll out of bed at 5:30 am, I love to wake up to Darrick rubbing my back and whispering "Time to get up". And I really love the morning. There is just something about being up at the start of a brand new day-it is so fresh.

After breakfast I decided to go for a walk. I have been slacking off on my exercising for the last month and decided to get back into it today. I love walking and so over a year ago we bought a double exercise stroller.

We start from our house and walk to the gate guard and leave the base. We walk past the Lehua Elementary School and onto the bike path. From there it gets interesting. Pearl City is not the greatest city or most beautiful. We walk past some run down apartments and then the freeway. Then we get to some sort of fields filled with water. I am not sure what they are growing. Then we walk through an industrial park and end up by the shore. At this point I turn around and walk home. Once I walked further and there were a lot of homeless people and about 30 or more stray cats. There are a lot of people on the path. There seems to be 3 groups, moms with strollers, military in black shorts with tan t-shirts or elderly asian people who are so friendly and nice. They love to wave to the boys and often ask me if they are twins.

Until tomorrow...
