CHRISTIE CLINIC ILLINOIS MARATHON IN CHAMPAIGN

We traveled home for the Easter holiday and kicked off the weekend with a trip to Champaign, Illinois. Joe used this opportunity to check Illinois off of his marathon list. We had a great time! Friday had us finding our hotel to be a "dive", as Joe put it, so we stayed with his sister and her family. That really worked out great. We had the time to just sit and visit...and of course hold their newest little one, Morgan. That evening we had a wonderful dinner at Jim Gould's. It is a swanky little restaurant in downtown Champaign. If you get the chance, you should go. The food is quite good and the ambiance is wonderful. Morgan really loved the Jazz group that played live. Joe ran his race on Saturday with great running weather. Thanks Jacque and Zac, for letting us stay at your home!!
