It was a warm enough afternoon that my DH suggested that we try walking to the grocery store. We got our backpacks out and walked the four mile round trip.

It was great! After we returned, we weighed the packs to get an idea of what we had just accomplished. My pack weighed 16 pounds; DH’s pack was 25 pounds.

This activity took the place of going to the gym and using gasoline to get groceries. We had a chance to be together plus enjoy the sunny outdoors for an extended period of time. Yay!
