Week 4: On the road again

Another busy week of travel, things to do and places to see! Thursday night we traveled about six hours to Roanoke, VA so Chris could participate in the  Roanoke Academy of Medicine Alliance Book and Author Dinner on Friday. This event is a fundraiser for many community organizations, and I think it is always a good thing to see people excited about books, too. We pulled the kids from school and made it a short family vacation, visiting the Transportation Museum and Science Museum, as well as walking around the charming downtown area and eating some yummy chicken and waffles.

After all of the Friday night excitement (Chris's talk was extremely well received--he even spoke about Fisher House-- and he sold all of his books!), we were up bright and early Saturday to drive the six hours back home, as B had a prom to attend that night. His presence was also required at photos, dinner, and pre-prom activities, so we were on the road by 645am. Needless to say, by the time we made it home, helped B get ready, took some of our own pictures, etc, Chris and I were tuckered out. There was no way we could think of running 4 miles that day, so we instead took a nap and put the run off until Sunday.
