First Walk of The Season

It was a nice day and I had it off work. So Old Lady Gimm and I walked down to the East Village had dinner   and then stumbled home. We went through Prospect Park which is just a Cul de Sac on top of the hill over looking the Mississippi River and The Arsenal Island. 
Dinner was at Mound Street Landing one of the many bars in the East Village. The menu was that big but the food was good. They had cheese shots. Fried cheese balls with jalapeños mixed in.Whoooo weeee. 
Had a couple cold ones so the walk back was fun. About 4 miles round trip.
