Last One For A While

Last year I had a goal to do three 5K runs, which I totally accomplished- yay me! :)  Alas, the oh so fun 5k events are expensive, and we are trying to move, so, no more runs for me for the time being. Please enjoy these pics from my last mud run.....

James has been extra snuggly lately, and has been enjoying squeezing himself into small spaces.


Epic Vacation To Florida Day 11

Headed home at last home, by way of Mission San Luis in Tallahassee. It's an old Apalachee-Spanish mission, and living history museum and I think it was the coolest thing we saw this whole trip....and as such, I have far too many pictures in this post :)
