On the first day of my summer vacation...

There is a great biking trail that starts about 5 miles from my dad's house and travels 30 miles into downtown Philadelphia. It travels through Valley Forge National Park and it was pretty cool to see all the old shacks that housed dozens of troops...it reminded me of Apopka. I made it about 10 miles down the trail only to find that it was flooded out. The flooding of the Delaware River (commomly referred to as the Smell-aware River) was really bad as they had almost 15 inches of rain here in the past 4 days. It was kind of freaky seeing all the houses along the trail under water. I felt bad for a while until I remembered that I was on vacation, so I stopped caring. I would up riding about 22 miles total. I was going to run tonight but I got lazy and decided to take Dad on in a game of Trivial Pursuit. We are about evenly matched, but I let him win tonight.
