Summer 2012

Image
This has turned out to be a fairly busy summer. First we started out with a crazy road trip to Pittsburgh, PA and back. The weekend we got home was the Olympic Swim Trials so of course we went to some of that, and during all of this the Welsh Family has been in Nebraska and spent some time with us at our house. If you want to see visually what all we've been up to, click on the pictures below for more photos!!! Road Trip 2012 Our road trip was just 7 nights (8 days) and we went a total of 2,165 miles. We went from Omaha, NE to Princeton, IL after work on day 1. Day 2 we got to Pittsburgh, PA. We ended up hanging out in Pittsburgh for a few days visiting family! Day 5 we started driving again - we left after lunch  and got to Cleveland, OH where we spent the night. Had a lovely dinner at Lola Bistro (a Michael Symon Restaurnt) and it was delicious! Day 6, took us to the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo, and then to Indianapolis, IN for the night. We didn't spend any time in Indianapoli...

My brother, sister, sister-in-law, nephew and I all participated in the Color Run this past weekend. I've posted photos....feel free to take a look. Just click on the picture below for more!!!

I know I was exhausted and overheated by the end of the 5k Fun Run! Thanks for pushing me guys!!!

But - a rainy day at the beach is better than any day at home and at the office! I had to remind myself of that a few times. However, with the rain, we took advantage of some things that we may not have if we had had the expected sunny warm Miami weather! We went to the Miami Seaquarium, to the mall, a state park, the turtle hospital, dolphin research center, and much more! To see some pictures from our trip click on the photo below! This was a busy trip - in one week we stayed in 3 different hotels, in 4 different room. YIKES! Our longest stay in one room was for 3 nights, the rest were just 1 or 2 nights. We also did a lot of driving - correction - LOU did a lot of driving! I did a lot of navagating and programming the cell phone GPS! When we arrived in Miami on April 28th, it was overcast and 70 degrees. I couldn't believe it. It ...
