Let the Race Begin

Last Sunday we completed our first (of hopefully many) Family Race. Momma loves to run and has been coaxing the family. We found a race called the Chocolate Mile. Who can't run a mile for chocolate? Well it was a hit with the family and we're already searching for our next quest - a 5K.

Quickly Valentine's weekend ascended on us. We had some friends over on Friday to make special presents for Daddy. He loved them and can't wait to display his new frame at work. 3 out of 4 of us are down with colds, so we had to stay low for the weekend. We got a little stir crazy on Saturday so we decided to pack some tissues and head over to a Smithsonian we've been wanting to visit near Dulles - National Air and Space Museum. Princess declared this week she wants to be an astronaut when she grows up.

And we think Jimmo's favorite part was the clear open space to run. However he also had a bit of fascination with the Enterprise space shuttle.
Princess got a little tired of looking at aircraft after about an hour, but a milkshake at McDonald's sure made this outing top notch.
