After Dinner Strolls
When I was younger, my parents would always take me along on their post-dinner strolls around the neighborhood. We would finish up dinner, clean up the dishes, and then take a walk that probably amounted to about a mile. We’d walk and chat and basically spend time as a family as we saw our little suburban neighborhood. It also was good exercise because it got our blood flowing after a meal, rather than sitting on our butts in front of the TV or something (I couldn’t watch TV after dinner so it wasn’t a big deal), and something my wife and I started doing.
Luckily for us, we actually have a more picturesque and longer walk than my parents. It’s about three miles round trip for us to walk around the lake and back, something we can usually do in about an hour, and something we try to do at least once a week. Another side benefit is that the grocery store is along the way so we often stop by there to grab a couple things we needed (saves on gas!).
