I guess an advantage of not going far is being able to see what's near. When it's warm, it's great to spend time outside even if it is in town.
Today, "the park of the day" was in New Westminster's West End. We always see the NEW WESTMINSTER WELCOMES YOU from the SkyTrain but even after all these years, we'd never taken turns standing in it.
As well, we walked to the new pedestrian and bike bridge which was completed last summer. It provides access over the highway and connects the Metrotown, Queensborough, and downtown New West paths.
