Happy Monday Everyone!

Krispy Kreme Challenge 2012

A couple of weeks ago Joe, Erica and I got up early and headed to the Krispy Kreme Challenge 2012 in Raleigh NC.  Joe ran it for the first time last year Krispy Kreme Challenge 2011.  He was excited to run the race again and this year Erica decided to join him.  Plus the money was going for a great cause, UNC North Carolina Children's Hospital. I went along to document the event:-)

Early morning in
downtown Raleigh..

Interesting head gear...

Pre race lines for the port-a-johns.
There were over 7,700 runners so the lines were long...

Ready...
Set...
Go!!!

Way to go Erica!!!
Erica ate 4 donuts at the donut station.
Joe ate all 12, crazy man:-)

Two bears ran the race you can see them there petting the dogs.  I did not realize it at the time but there is Joe in the middle of the shot.  What are the odds?

Great job guys!!!

Erica brought home her left over donuts.

I ate one and Roxy and Brodie had a couple of bites too...

Another fun year at the Krispy Kreme Challenge.
Get out and do something fun.

Stephanie and I Exploring Georgetown

I went up to visit Steph, Josh, and Caleb a couple of weeks ago.  Steph and I decided to do a bit of shopping.  Where to go??  How about Georgetown?  Why not? We hopped in the car, I let Steph do the driving since she is a city girl now, and we braved the DC traffic and headed to the shopping mecca of Georgetown.....We parked in a parking garage off the main street and headed out to find breakfast.  LaMadeleine Country French Cafe. What a cozy nice place...

We had a nice time at LaMadeleine.  I like the French Country decor.
The food was good and the people friendly...
Now off for a bit of shopping.....We hit several shops...the ones I remember are JCrew, LuLumon Athletic, (where Steph loved looking for CrossFit gear:-), Anthropologie,  Banana Republic, and several others where the names elude me.  Great fun!
After several hours of shopping and exploring we were hungry again.  Stephanie had the foresight to order cupcakes from a shop called Georgetown Cupcake.  It is a popular little place. even on a TV show called DC Cupcakes.  A coworker of mine went recently and said the line was out the door. Since we placed our order online the night before we could walk right in and pick up our little treats....Good thinking Steph:-)

We decided since the line was so long to get coffee we would take our pre-ordered cupcakes and headed off to Dean and Deluca for a cup of coffee to go with our cupcakes.  What a fun place.

      Yummy:-)
We didn't spend a lot of time in Georgetown.  We missed Caleb.  We rushed home to give him hugs and his present

I think he liked it:-)

Thanks for a great day Stephanie....I love you!
Get out and explore!
Enjoy Your World:-)
