An Almost Perfect Race....

A few weekends ago I took a well needed sisters trip to California without kids....I always seem to come home more tired and need a vacation from my vacation. Staying up until 3 am laughing is always much looked forward to with my sisters. I am so grateful for them and their teasing and sense of humors. We are all SO different but could not get along better! Sisters really are the BEST! It all comes from having and being raised by an INCREDIBLE MAMA!

Michelle: Come on ladies it will be fun, lets run a race in San Francisco. It's only 10K.
Nicole: Yes! I'm in, I just ran 7 miles this morning.
Rachel: Really? Can't we just get together and hang out?
Denise: I'll only do it if someone will walk with me.
Rebecca: Nope - no fun. I have been working my tail off out here in Phoenix - no way am I coming on a trip to wake up early and run.

Michelle and Nikki talked us all into it. Airplane tickets were bought, babysitters arranged, just one small item overlooked - signing us up for the race. According to 3 of us - AWESOME!! We had a great weekend of shopping, eating and movies. Then on race day, the young ones woke us all up and convinced us of taking them to the City so they could "sneak in." As we pull up we hear the starting gun go off and the announcer yell "They're off!" Out of the car hop Michelle and Nicole and run through the starting point 3 minutes behind the pack. Us oldies walked it far behind them. The weather was GREAT - I've never seen a nicer day by the bay. We finished it off with a walk across the Golden Gate Bride. Fun Weekend.




Thank you Mama Rach for the Post! Look who is turning BROWN! Love you!
