My son and I, are church hunters!
We love to search for church buildings, the older, the better.
There's this tall building, a steeple, that we always see from a distance, when we walk by the park. DS always says, that we must explore that place some day soon, and I always tell him, whenever I feel like I can walk it, we will go. I was telling him that the church looks like the one I worked by, many years ago, 21 years ago, to be exact.
The weather was perfect for walking, so I told him, let's do it today. We walked, and walked, and didn't realize how far it really was, yikes! lol! The closer we got to it, the more familiar the neighborhood seemed.
Well, lo' and behold, when we finally reach it, it turns out that it's the same one. So, I showed him where I used to work all those years ago, the phone booth I used to call my mom on, on my lunch half-hour, and the diner a few blocks up ahead. It was a lot of fun:)
So, today I revisited, my past! DS was worried that I had walked so much, and wanted us to take the bus back, but I told him I'd let him know if I really needed to.
So, my total walk for today, 3.75 miles! WOO-HOO! :D
