Pagan Tendencies: Weekly Email

Hi Mom,

We'll be seeing you tomorrow but I figured I'd keep in the habit.

I worked from home on Thursday. The girls and I got the car all packed up throughout the day. Theresa got home a little early from work and we were on the road at around 4:30pm. We stopped at the Subway in Limon for dinner and pulled into the Comfort Inn in Colby at around 10pm with the time change. They were pretty full. We called along the way and reserved a king suite with a queen pull-out - it was all they had left. We were all pretty tired and went to bed almost straight away. The girls didn't even make it to the pool. Great breakfast in the morning (sausage, eggs, biscuits/gravy, waffles, etc) and then hit the road around 9am. We rolled into independence at around 3:30 or so.

Chloe drove most of the way out. With Theresa taking a 3-hr shift on Friday morning. I didn't drive at all. It was nice to have chauffeurs.

We've been having a nice relaxing time here. Not much activity really. The girls did the Independence Center on Saturday for several hours while we just relaxed. Kenny's computer was on the fritz so we made a trip to best buy for parts ($100 worth of new memory) and it's back in working order.

We've had a pizza hut dinner, a spaghetti dinner (followed by Mugs Up root beer floats), and tonight is a roast dinner. (Too much food - that's what you do on vacation right?).

I watched the first day of the Tour De France. And I saw highlights of the Women's Wimbledon final (Kvitovah) and then today watched the last few games of the Men's final (Djokavik).

I've been up early both mornings for a bike ride and run. The Little Blue Trace trail is a great great local trail. I rode it from end to end for 30 miles. Then I did a quick 8 mile run this morning before church. You have to get it in early around here before it gets too hot and humid. Although today has been a strange weather day. Way cooler (80F) and rainy.

We went to mass this morning and out to breakfast at Denny's afterwards. The girls, Kenny and I did a little bit of sight seeing just driving around today too. We stopped at the cemetery and saw some Witthar plots. Stopped by the Truman house and the LDS Temple.
