Little Rock, Arkansas Marathon


Joe ran in the Little Rock Marathon in Little Rock, Arkansas. We stayed at the famous Peabody and visited the Clinton Library and Museum.
 It was a great trip and a nice weekend get-away for our family.

WASHINGTON DC- OCT 8TH

It was a super long bus ride home from Washington DC. Straight through the night all the way home to Muscle Shoals. We made it home on October 8, Bay's 12th birthday. What a blessing to have the whole week with my boy. One of the best trips of my life, without a doubt!
