We went to the zoo, Rita riding on the bike and Alanna riding with Jasmine. We took a look at the new exhibit (penguins) and how big some of the older ones were since we saw them last.
We bailed after a bit and did some riding around. At one point we headed up Bogus Basin Road. After the developed area we got into a nice twisty area, some of it very twisty. I was watching the road and peeking up ahead here and there. There were locusts here and there on the road. As we got farther and farther up the road, we started seeing more and more locusts in the road. Eventually I was getting concerned that we’d slide off the road and we stopped to look at the view.
We headed back for dinner and to hang out. When it was time to go, Devon and Alanna both wanted to try a ride on the back of the Harley. I told them that next time I’d be happy to give them rides around but that I’ll give them a ride around the neighborhood only if their feet could touch the pegs. Alanna had to tippy-toe and I let her slide a little since it was just in the housing area.
After that it was time go to. We headed back to the hotel and packed up. Rita’s flight was late the next morning but I was bailing at 6am.
