Went for a walk...

For the first time this week, I didn't have to work til 1am, so we decided to go for a walk on the Greenway out in our new neighborhood yesterday evening!! Nashville has this awesome Greenway system that is basically a series of trails all over town. The one directly behind where our house will be is the furthest west one, and there are plans to connect it with other ones in Bellevue and then eventualy more towards downtown, which is an awesome concept - not that I would ever actually run/walk/bike that far, but its a good thought...

This greenway is almost a mile and a half long, and since our place will be right at the trailhead, I have grand illusions of walking 3 miles a day - we'll see how that goes, but we're excited about it. Last night we walked a mile down the trail (it's marked) and back, so two miles is a good start! There were quite a few "neighbors" out there - and everyone was so friendly! And so many dogs(!!), so that is definitely in our near future - Mom and Dad, you'll have to settle for a grand-puppy for a bit ;o)

And here are some pics from our walk...all of these are from within the first 1/4 mile of the trail, so these are all a very short distance from our place - which is freakin' awesome!

And I'm so glad we turned around when we did, bc we found this awesome "beach" down a little trail in our area, and we saw this deer!! I swear, it was no more than 10 yards from us!!! Sorry the pictures are all fuzzy - I was shaking while trying to take the pic and whispering at Patrick to pay attention and see the deer! He was huge!!
