Back home. Over 1800 miles of driving this week. The trip we took the teens on was amazing. I will have to post some pictures and maybe some info- there is so much history out there that we have simply not been taught because it is not popular. The sights alone in Virginia, NC and KY were amazing not to mention the markers and preservation. I mean how many people know that 7 Baptist minsters were thrown in jail in 1770 for simply preaching the gospel? 3 lawyers fought for their rights and got them out, and they did it for free. Names? Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Anyway, I have too much information for the blog right now - and I need to catch up! The teens were great and in awe of some of the history we saw. Oh.... we had some late night crazy fun too (hey when you travel in a huge passenger van with teens - the junk food, games and loudness will happen). Running- I tried to make the most of my time, but I was lacking sleep, driving a lot, walking more and 2 nights I had horrible calf cramps - my body had me take an extra day off. I think I could use a step back week anyway. |
