A moment of time in travel

Some moments in my travels, thus far over the past few weeks …

I took this photo at MIX, a rooftop bar at THEhotel in Las Vegas. It was the perfect place to watch the sun set over the strip! I like how you can see the screen in the girl's camera as she takes a photo of the sunset.

This is the backside of Junkman's Daughter, located in Little Five in Atlanta. Little Five was one of my favorite places in Atlanta that Joe showed us.

Yes, I rode in this cab in Phoenix. And no, it was not in the 80s. I had to snap the back of it because the car was just so awesomely retro.

We ziplined over downtown Vegas. And it was amazing. It's a must-do every time I go back to Vegas now. Was so much fun!

Hanging out in the Luxor ... enjoying Vegas ...

Somewhere between Las Vegas and Phoenix, we stopped for gas and I snapped this photo.

I edited all these photos using the Best Camera app, which I talk about a little more here if you want to see some “before” photos. I love that I don’t have to keep up with anything but my iPhone!

What if my friends hate each other? Hey, what if they don’t?

So, I blogged recently about running a race in Atlanta and how much fun and motivating that was. What I didn’t really tell you was that it was such a fun weekend that I had a hard time choosing which parts to share with you. The background: It really wasn’t my trip to plan. Scott [...]

Something is missing

This time was not supposed to be any different. I’ve run a million races by now, and there was nothing to indicate that a short 10K would be too much of a challenge for me. So when Jeff and Scott made a bet  that ended with me getting a free race entry into the a 10K [...]

4 kids and I didn’t even have to change a dirty diaper

Chuck surprised my sister for their anniversary by bringing her and the kids up to my house for the night so I could babysit while they had an evening out. What he may not have known was he was giving me a gift as well! It was my pleasure to watch the two boys. And [...]

Peanut butter so good, it deserves a blog post

Ok, I am no food writer. And typically I find food posts pretty boring unless they have some sort of recipe that is perfectly healthy and I plan to make myself. But typically I could care less what you eat for dinner, so I really don’t tell you about what I’m eating. That’s how good [...]

Things are always better with your mom

I won’t be spending Mother’s Day with my Mom because she is busy being a “Mom” to who she calls “her ladies” today. My mom has made a career out of being a mom, that’s how good at it she is. After raising three wonderful, successful, perfect children (haha, ok, Kevin’s not perfect), she decided [...]

Recording the news, becoming part of history

I’ve struggled with what to write today. I’m on my first day back from a weekend in Key West and I’m busy, busy catching up with work and I couldn’t wait to blog about my recent trips. But we don’t always get to choose when news is going to happen. It doesn’t matter if I don’t have time [...]

Learning to use my feet again

The silver lining to all this health stuff I’ve been going through is that it’s a perfect time to try something new. And by that I mean I’ve been wanting to get a pair of Vibram Five Finger shoes forever. But I didn’t love the idea of only being able to run short distances to [...]

My mouth can’t catch a break

So, I mentioned this on Facebook yesterday but it’s all I can think about today since my mouth is still absolutely killing me, so pardon me but I’m going to rant for a minute … I hope I don’t seem melodramatic with this, but with everything that’s been going on, this just about put me [...]

Even better than backpacking

So, my meeting with Caleb didn’t go as I had planned it to. In fact, I had been scheduled to be at my sister’s on March 1. Which meant I would have been there when Caleb arrived on March 3. But my little stint in the hospital changed those plans. And as I spent time [...]
