Boston Marathon

A few weeks ago, mom and I flew to Boston so I could run in my 1st Boston Marathon (I qualified on my first marathon in Tucson in December). And since I'm the only one posting stuff right now, it's taken a while. But here are some pictures of our trip. I did awesome. Ran it in 3:28 and change, taking 10 minutes off my qualifying time and just felt great the whole time. Can't wait for the next race!

A boutique in Annapolis

Here are some pics from our trip to Boston. Not too great of me running. Oh well. We also visited my brother at the Naval Academy. It was pretty cool seeing the sites in Boston. Really old Amereican History. Gravesite from the colonial times etc. And the old meeting houses of the Founding Fathers. We also caught a Red Sox (boooooo) game and got some great seats. GO DBACKS!!

Brailyn's Big Girl Bunny

Now that Brailyn is a Big Girl and is officially potty trained (of course there are still occational accidents, but she wears panties all day), we decided for her big reward to go to Build-A-Bear. Whenever we go to the mall, she loves to walk around inside, and today she got to experience the whole thing. We even put her paci inside to try to wean her of it. Unfortunately, she didn't take a nap today without it, so we'll see how it goes tonight. Hopefully our patience will last longer than the crying.

Having Fun at the Restaurant (she did this on her own...)

After walking around San Tan Village we ate at the Mexican place, and headed home for a "nap". We are so proud of our big girl, so the money was well spent.
