Joni Visits Jim and Barbara

On Joni's way back to Texas from New Hamphire, she decided to stop in NYC to visit her son, Jim, and his wife, Barbara.

A bike ride through the Bronx was scheduled for that same weekend, so we rode in it. There were a few thousand bike riders which took part. We started near the new Yankee Stadium (pictured) and rode about 30 miles around the Bronx, riding through some areas we wouldn't have gone through without the safety of many riders and a police escort. We took the subway to get to the starting point and then again to get back to Manhatten.

It was a very chilly day with morning temperatures in the 40's and warmed only into the 50's, but it was a great day for a ride. You can see how chilly Jim was.....doesn't he look cold? Pictured is the highway which went to the George Washington Bridge with the sign for the exit.

Joni also got to visit with Barbara's parents, June and Joe. Joe gets alot of kidding these days, as he is actually "Joe and Plumber". His name is really Joe and he is really a plumber. Go Joe!!!!! Pictured are all of us in Jim and Barabara's apartment.
