I signed up for the 70.3 because one of my coworkers did and I am close. This year I did not get a hotel and just drove back and forth for the packet pick up and the day of the race. The run was hot. You are running around noon. For the 140.2 you run in the evening. It was a nice day.
We went down close to the water and then also to see the Wye Island Holly Tree. The boys were rather unimpressed with the 275+ year old tree as it wasn't all that tall. It looked like it was much taller at one time but a huge chunk of it fell off.
The school year is at a close. We all survived and are relieved to get a brief respite. Damon took us out sailing to prepare for our week of sailing camp. The boys and I have been "looking forward" to this camp since January. Damon got us the slots for our Christmas gifts. The end of the month took us to Bethesda to start our summer of family time. The boys love to hang out with the Palmer kiddos. Milton got his own Nintendo Switch as an end of school year gift. He did not like SAC this year all that much but the only saving grace was that they had some Nintendo switches the kids could use where Milton developed a fierce affinity for playing Zelda. The boys can play together which I see as a huge win. Owen's favorite game is Stardew Valley where they are pretty much farm managers. Not a high intensity game. Owen loves reading Keeper of the Lost Cities and Milton loves the Redwall series.
