End of Fall Break

We wrapped up fall break with a short trip to Frankfort, Louisville, and Evansville. Annee, Hayden, and Heather made their first trip to Frankfort to visit the capitol. After spending the afternoon touring the capitol, we made our way to Louisville to see the Chlarsons. The highlight was watching Kevin and Jen's sand volleyball team roll to victory. Hayden was a particularly good cheerleader. We made our way to Evansville on Saturday where we stopped by Mesker Zoo and had dinner at Old Chicago. Sunday morning I ran in the Evansville Half Marathon. Was quite pleased with my time - 2:05:13 (9:34 pace). It was good for 844th place (out of 2347). I was 566/977 for male finishers. Below are pictures from our adventure.
