...but not on this wheeled vehicle, don't worry. She and Papaw are riding real bicycles, and they are almost halfway from California to Florida. They send me postcards and Mom and I pin them up on a big map of the U.S.I do miss them, and when Mom first explained where Nannie and Papaw were, I thought they had moved to Arizona. Whew, I was sure glad to find out that wasn't true. They are just on a long trip that include Arizona (they're in Texas now), and when they get back they'll have lots of stories to tell me. I get to hear some of them on their blog, which I understand I inspired them to start. "If our grandson can blog, so can we!" Check it out here:

I'm learning to ride a bike so I can go on bicycle adventures, too. For my second birthday (see post on Mom's blog), Grandpa Jim and Grandma Glory got me a balance bike! It doesn't have pedals, but I can push it with my feet and coast, and and steer with the handlebars and everything. In fact, I'm getting so fast, Mom & Dad make me wear my helmet whenever I get astride my Strider bike.
That's what it's called, a Strider, and I'll share some videos that inspire me -- of kids not much older than me really zipping along:

If I can learn to ride this balance bike, I won't have to use training wheels to ride a bigger bike. And when I can ride a big bike, maybe Nannie and Papaw will take me on a big ride. I hope.
