St. Louis Running Weekend

April 6th Tanna, Angela and I traveled to St. Louis for the Go 1/2 Marathon. We had a great weekend.  After arriving on Friday night we hit the Expo and then Pi Pizzeria.  Saturday morning we went to Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis and then gave ourselves an informal tour.  It was a beautiful church.




We had our pre-race dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and we ordered our "usual" and yes, we were dressed matchy-matchy.
The race route was great. We ran through downtown. 

 Finished!
I tried to keep an eye on the guy at the start line with no shoes but lost him shortly after the start.  I cannot imagine running 13.1 with no shoes.  I am not sure if he made it or not.

A Disney Spring Break

As always, I am a little late with this post.  Spring Break was severeal weeks ago but I have not had time to post about our spring break Disney trip because I am still recovering from it. The trip was fun but it was exhausting.  The first two days, including the day we arrived, we were at Magic Kingdom.
Kira and Keylee met several Disney Princesses at Magic Kingdom.  Keenan met them too.  He was a good sport and did agree to take some pictures with Kira and Keylee for me but I had to promise him I would not post them. There were several other rides Keenan enjoyed doing with Joe while Kira, Keylee and I stood in long lines waiting to meet the princesses. Did I mention the long lines??

We spent the third day at Animal Kingdom. I think the kids would vote the Dino-Spin as their favorite ride.  I could not convince anyone to ride the Mt. Everest roller coaster. 
 Goofy and Pluto
Day four we spent at Hollywood Studios.  The kids really liked the Toy Story Mania ride and Star Tours.  Kira and Keenan loved the Star Wars themed areas at this park.
 Day five was spent at Epcot where Keylee had her lunch with the Princesses.   I will post pictures from the lunch on another post. Stay tuned because there is a slight possibility that some pictures with Kira, Keylee AND Keenan with the princesses might appear. Our Epcot day it rained and rained.  We were soaking.  I did pack ponchos which helped keep us dry except our soaking shoes and socks.  Yuck.

Day six we were able to go back and spend more time at Epcot before we had to go to the airport. I will post some more Epcot pictures when I post the pictures of Keylee's princess lunch.  I don't want to overload my three readers with pictures with this post and I know a promise of more pictures will keep you checking back day after day.
