Galena..delayed 30th Anniversary trip






Jeff & I took a couple days this week to get away and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary which we observed in July. The colors were beautiful. We had one day of sunshine and one day of rain. Despite with bad weather we had a great time.

And it's off to the Chicago Marathon to see Nick, Aubrey and Becky run.

Jeff driving and Seth Navigating and guess who's in the backseat? We stayed at our cousin Erin's home in Evanston the night before. We had a great time.

The three mile mark...going strong!



Picture #4 is where we first saw the kids. It was so exciting.

Runner were every where and just kept coming. There were over 40,000 and add the spectators to that number and that equals a lot of people, We had a blast.



Picture one is the first time we got to see Nick and then Aubrey. I was too busy cheering them on to take a picture. Jeff got one of me cheering with the yellow noise maker things. Picture three is of a pair of runners that dressed like Fred and Barney and ran together the entire day.
Picture 4 is of Nick at the 21 mile mark, he is wearing blue shirt, white short and red shoes. China Town under this sign was where we saw Aubrey for the second time. There were too many people to get her picture.



Picture one & two is an Aid Station, three is Nick in the center with blue shirt and red shoes. He is at Mile 25! three is a screen that shows the runners as they approach their last mile. four is the happy couple with their medals.
