I came up this weekend to visit my Uncle Lee and his family. It happens to be his birthday too so I was glad that I was here to see him and the girls. The other reason I am here is to really get serious about this marathon training. There is a group that meets … Continue reading Venice Beach Run

Bailey made the trip in one piece. My Dad and I are exhausted. I didn't have a chance to run all week … Continue reading I’m back California!
Today we stopped in Flagstaff Arizona for the night. We stayed at a "green" hotel named, The King's Hotel. The only thing I noticed about it being "green" was the dispensable soap in the shower. We also sabotaged our healthy trip of no junk food by going to Sonic for dinner. I woke dad up … Continue reading The longest day ever! Traveling through Arizona
[/caption]Driving down the highway we saw signs for "The Big Texan" a steakhouse featuring a 72 ounce steak. Once we crossed into Amarillo, Texas, my dad had his heart set on stopping there. It was more than I imagined. This place was painted a bright yellow, complete with a large boot and a large cow. … Continue reading The Big Texan
After fighting all day with Bailey over the front seat I finally learned that he likes to put his head out the window. Genius! Now he has left me alone. Today was a long day. We drove almost 1000 miles today, going through Tenessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Dad and I drove to Memphis to see … Continue reading Elk City, Oklahoma
Today we did well with time. we made it through Virginia and into Tenessee. We are staying the night halfway between Knoxville and Nashville. Bailey on the other hand, couldn't shake the doggie jitters. He must have stood on all fours half the trip pacing and looking intently at passing vehicles. Trucks especially seem to … Continue reading Doggie jitters on I40
No not really, taking my car. I just like the song. Today my dad and I are leaving for San Diego for the long trip cross country. Bailey has all his toys packed and a comfortable quilt to sleep on.

What I love about being home in Maryland is hanging out with grandma. I made her breakfast this morning of raisin bran and bannanas. Later I take her to the doctors office for a blood test, and then to the hair salon so she can get a perm. You try walking a 91year old around … Continue reading Grandma Days
