Recently started looking at the photos from our visit to the San Diego Zoo. What a fun visit. We only spent a few hours there but saw lots of animals. Going right as they opened helped us avoid the lines and allowed us to see the animals while they were being fed. I highly recommend […]
Traveling from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez shows you the beautiful country of Costa Rica.
On February 4, 2018, Costa Rica would elect a new President. The staff at National rental car told us it was Election Day in Costa Rica, and we would see a lot of people out going to the polls and might see protests. How exciting to see the democratic process in another country! The polls are […]
The Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon was different from any other we have done or will do this year. The run was on Saturday, not Sunday. We had to drive down on Friday and be prepared to run on Saturday. We decided to stay at the Andaz. The hotel was conveniently located. We were […]
It was a quick trip to L.A. We landed, checked into the hotel and headed straight to packet pickup. Unfortunately, there was no time for sightseeing, but I did manage to capture photos of the Lakers statues outside the Staples Center. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott near the start/finish lines, and this trip […]
Steve and I arrived in Philadelphia Saturday morning. To get from the airport to downtown, we used the regional rail, SEPTA. The Suburban Station downtown dropped us off a few walkable blocks to our hotel. We checked into the Embassy Suites City Center, which turned out to be a great locale and headed to packet […]
The Virginia Beach Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon starts near the boardwalk and finishes on the boardwalk. This year, the weather was great. It was a bit cool in the morning and was only going to be in the low 80’s at most by the end of the run. You start out running near the […]
Day One in Virginia Beach started early. Steve and I got a little crazy and decided to enter the 5K and the One Mile on the Sand. We’d get a medal for each run plus a pin for running “Land to Sand.” Why not do it? It was included in our Tourpass, and we were […]
We woke up to great weather for July and headed to the start line. The course started at Grant Park on Columbus. Then it headed north into Streeterville and back into The Loop. It was flat and easy to navigate. Plus, the course finishes running along Lakeshore Drive. Makes you feel like a real Chicagoan. […]
Summertime in Chicago–so much different than summertime in Nashville. Less humidity and lower temperatures make it a fantastic time to enjoy the outdoors. When we arrived we took the El into the city. Then hoofed it to the Doubletree Hotel in Streeterville. We selected this hotel for its location and its rooftop pool! Getting to […]
