"Urban Exercise Excursion"

So, I rode the light rail today! And not just for fun, but to actually GET someplace!

I drove to the park and ride lot at 38th St. and rode to the bridal salon where I was to meet my sister, mom, and grammi to pick out my mom's dress for my sister's wedding.

Except that I missed my stop. :(

No biggie, right? Just get off at the next stop, and walk back. Except it's a pretty long way. Ok, then, get on the next train going the opposite direction. Except that the train only goes in one direction at that stop. So I had to walk one block south to get on the east-bound train. Then at the correct stop, I had to walk a block north, then a block west.

So I prefer to not think of it as "public transportation" and think of it instead as an "urban exercise excursion" because I did more walking than I had anticipated!

(Which is good - it'll work on burning off the tostada + margarita I had for lunch! ;)

Oh, and I have no pictures because I forgot to take my dang memory card out of my computer! Drat!
