Aldeen Park

I'm back in Rockford for the weekend visiting my folks. It's also my friend Adam's oldest boy's birthday. I haven't been back since July so this visit is long overdue.

One of the things I miss most about Rockford is the parks. I worked in a number of them as a camp counselor growing up. They're all large and beautiful. It's easy to get lost and forget you're in a city at all. When I got into town this afternoon I rode my motorcycle(one last ride) to Aldeen to hike around for a bit while there was still some light.

There's something incredibly peaceful about it. Something I'm always drawn back to.
