Bike path between two castles we visited. I have almost caught up to Austin.

My biggest mistake of the day was casually commenting to Austin at the onset of our day-long bike tour: "Last year you really stuggled with bike riding. I wonder if you are in any better shape this year."

Our entire day consisted of me trying to keep up with him and him calling over his shoulder: "Mom. Hey, Mom! You still think I'm out of shape?"

Sigh.
