Bike Trail Recommendations

I'm planning on taking my kids on a bike trip this summer and I need some recommendations around the state. I went on the High Trestle Trail last year and it was great but I'd like to try out others. The kids are fairly young so here's my criteria:

  • ~20-30 miles round trip (can be either a loop or go somewhere and back)
  • paved and relatively flat
  • stuff along the way like towns or other things to stop at for breaks
  • biking along roads kept to a minimum

Meet Brian, my brain ghost (patients perspective of an ultra-rare disease)

24F, neurodegerative Langerhans cell histiocytosis, an ultra-rare disease causing ataxia, cognitive impairment and motor impairment. It essentially causes my brain to misfire signals inappropriately and also interpret right signals wrong.

I'm a nearly full-time wheelchair user and have a baclofen pump for spasticity (which will also be posted). Brian gets monitored via imagery about once a year now (I'm currently stable) but when in active treatment per my neurologist (who I see every 6 weeks) he gets monitored more closely. He's only visible by MRI, which is always a very fun combination with my pump. I'm currently at 30 MRI's in my life (had a lying down- party and all!)

Even though I'm in near-constant pain (nerve, and joint mainly) my quality of life is actually pretty good. I live alone (with on-call assistance when I need), I have a cat and a partner. I just live each day as if it could be my last, and do everything I want to and can. Of course, cognitive impairment shouldn't be happening to a 24-year old, I shouldn't be struggling to find my words, but it is what it is.

Fluorescents are some of my favorite things to use, and I'm always happy when I get to use them their maximum effect!

First ever mini, looking for feedback.

As title states. This is my first fully finished mini. I know steps i messed up but would love feedback and possibly material/tool recommendations to get better. Thanks.

These are the paints and brushes I have. And the minis I used. Bases pre-attached so I had a rough time getting a nice tile look.
