The next day we drove to nearby Lake Mary, FL for lunch at SoDough Square, a restaurant offering Detroit style pizza using fermented dough. The fermented part means Cara can eat it without the usual side effects from wheat!
Then we drove to a nearby park to pick up the Seminole Wekiva Trailhead.
The park included the Markham Woods MTB (mountain bike) Skills Park, as well as a number of mountain biking trails.
The Seminole Wekiva Trail where we picked it up in the park.
We headed towards the town to see how people live here. All along Markham Road were gated communities.
It was still a nice trail even though it closely followed the road.
And there were some pretty spots along the way.
The trail turned south and followed an even busier road.
The first bike trail underpass.
Going through some neighborhoods.
At one spot along the trail there were a few pieces of workout equipment.
In another area the fence along the bike trail was decorated with all kinds of animals, people, movie scenes, motivational quotes, etc.
Saving the Monarch butterfly's preferred plant of milkweed seems like something Cara's mother would support.
The second bike trail underpass.
More of the inspirational fence section (taken on the return ride)...
On the ride back we were struck by the beauty of this sunset and had to stop for a picture.
We enjoyed a nice 23.5 mile ride, then drove over to Clermont and walked around their historic downtown district.
We found another fitting photo opportunity for Cara's mother here.
We picked Pepe's Cantina for dinner, and Cara really loved her Black Bean Enchiladas with mole sauce. The mole sauce is a rare treat for Cara since it's usually not vegetarian.
