my newest lofty goal

i’ve always kind of wanted to ride a bike across the country.

i say “kind of” because it’s always been just in the back of my mind and i’m not sure i’ve ever mentioned it out loud until recently.  i never thought that i’d actually have the opportunity to do it or anyone to come along and keep me company.

but now, i’m married!  and husband = constant forever travel and adventure partner.  right?

well next summer we’re planning a dc-to-seattle move.  we’ll have a few months off so why not move across the country on bikes?!  i mentioned this crazy idea to my brand-new husband and he was actually intrigued!  intrigued so much that we say “when we bike to seattle,” not “if we bike to seattle.” since making this the official plan for our cross-country move, we’ve modified the simple “bike across the country” plan to include some interesting details.

the official dream is: tandem bike across the country with a pet trailer pulling our dog.

are we crazy? or are you jealous?
