so i'll get to the good stuff soon...but i want to recap the WHOLE weekend...hang in there! and since there were so many pictures, i'm trying something different...text here, pics elsewhere, i promise it won't be the new format!
Friday, June 25th.
the fam, minus marc-o, had arrived in PA the night before. i took the day off from work to finish getting everything together for race day and to spend some time relaxing! i woke up early and went for my final swim at LaFit to remind myself that i did indeed know how to swim and to shake off the last of the nerves. everything felt good, strong, i was ready. so time for some fun...and food of course!
michael & my dad went golfing while my mom, kara and I headed over to chestnut hill. not sure why i've never taken them there before, it's totally our kind of place. quaint little village feel with lots of little shops to pop into...with a whole lot of weird goods being sold that we can laugh at! i really think the three of us are convinced that no one else on earth can hear our conversations...like the woman in the bakery who was the rudest person we encountered all day...i had no problem talking to kara about how curmudgeony this woman was, while said lady was approx 4 feet away from us. maybe we're the rude ones? naaah! :)
our journey in chestnut hill took us to a playground (swings are my weakness, i have been known to stop at empty playgrounds on my lunch break...in heels), a spice store, and of course a candy shop! bought some awesome bread to top off the carb-filled dinner we had in store for later that night.
got home and went to Frosty Falls in Bridgeport for ice cream...because Black Raspberry ice cream with chocolate sprinkles was obviously part of my training regiment!
