holiday’s with charlotte

February 22, 2011 CGR 5 comments
with yesterday’s holiday and some sunshine, i went out for a ride with dear charlotte. it’s been a while since i took her for a spin in our new city. it’s such a different feel whenever i ride her, it’s slower of course, as she is a cruiser, but she handles these roads with ease as if they were made for her. we don’t mind that till wendy is out of the shop later this week. it certainly was nice having a day off from everything and to be able to enjoy conversations with friends, the fresh air, and patches of sunshine, we even stopped by italy! (jk, hence the mural photo) i’m not sure how the rest of this week is going to be but all i know is charlotte will be along for the rides, rain or shine. hope she can handle it. 
how did you spend your presidents day?
