A surprise from the weekend (not state park time!)

I have to say, when I got up on Saturday morning I was kind of not looking forward to going to “Van Buren” state park with Samantha (here is a “review”, remember me and Samantha, she is a good friend, not a date situation probably, anyway we were going to go to that state park for a picnic and “hiking”, that was the plan). I am saying this because it was all rainy and gray, kind of a “yucky” day, so you can guess I was not thinking, “hey it would be fun to walk around in the muddy woods today, hooray let’s go and do that”. Anyway I knew Samantha really wanted to do this hiking, so I did not say anything to her about it when she came to pick me up at my place. Well she had a surprise for me when I got in her car, she said “hey Brian this is kind of a crappy day for hiking of course, let’s just go up to Toledo what the heck?” Yes you are hearing right (I mean reading, you can not hear me when I am writing this on the blog web site, anyway there is not much to hear, it is just clicking of the key board), we drove up to Toledo (she drive really, remember I do not have a driver license) just for “heck” of it. It is not too far, really, and we did not do much, we went to a mall there, it was a lot bigger than the mall here in Findlay, I guess it makes sense because Toledo is bigger than Findlay a lot, it was something about “Franklin Mall”, something like that. Anyway yes we went to the mall and just walked around. Samantha bought some clothes, like for example shirts. (Samantha would try on a shirt and then she would come out of the little room and ask me “how it looks”, I have to say it is kind of weird to tell a girl how the shirt, pretty much they all looked the same, but I said they were all good.) Anyway we ate at another kind of “fancy” place there at the mall, I though it was the same as the “Apple” place we ate the other day, it looked like exactly the same, but I guess it was different, it was like “Tuesday Restaurant’ or something? Then we just kind of drove around, it was like the end of the day we went out and sat by the lake (there is a big lake there in Toledo, it is “Erie Lake”). Samantha was I guess kind of tired from the long day, because when we were sitting there talking she put her head on my shoulder, I guess trying on clothes makes you tired? So anyway the lake was nice.

Kind of a fun time I guess, nothing too crazy but I have actually not been out of Findlay for a very long time, probably it was years. Of course even with a bicycle I could not come all the way up to Toledo but anyway. So anyway, no hiking in the muddy woods.

Also hey guess what I rode my new “mountain bike” over here today (I am talking about the library where I write my blog web site), of course except for this time I did not have a problem with the lock like last time! I am learning the lesson?
