railroad bridge is now the longest
By BRITTANY L. MORGAN

t's finally time to get the kids
outside to experience the wonders
of nature and enjoy some family
time outdoors.
There are a bevy of not-so-far-
away spots that offer inexpensive
ways to be outside. Many of them
even offer picnic areas so families
can stop and enjoy the fresh air.

and Highland on the west side. Bikes
