Happy 4th of July...

We're in RochVegas...finally! It took one 10.5 hour trip through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and a stop with some dear friends in Virginia then what was supposed to be a 6 hour (but ended up being an 8.5 hour trip) through Maryland, Pennsylvania, then finally into New York, but we are here.

Nona and Papa were waiting with open arms, clean sheets, and lots of hugs and kisses for the boys. We're so happy to be here for the week. Dave's sis and her family will be here in 2 days, (making the road trip from Tampa...with a 3 year old and their dog...are we crazy or what?!) and his brother and his girlfriend arrive just in time for us to hang out before we head back to the Deep South.

Dave and I ran in the FireCracker 5 yesterday morning. It was a 5 miler through the town he grew up in, and it was a blast. The course was great...just a little hilly but nothing like the Peachtree Road Race which my brother is currently running in as I type this entry. I do not envy him at all...a 10K in the Georgia humidity...ugh! After our race, we enjoyed a 4th of July parade in Fairport. It was full of fire trucks and candy. Drew loved it.

I'll post pics of our adventures later this week.

Happy 4th of July to all of you! I can't go without a thanks to those who served in our military to gain us this sweet independence and to thank those who are currently serving away from their families to keep us safe. A special thanks to the Tallents, Outlaws, and Hecks...families who epitomize selfless sacrifice!
