Grits Blitz: Maw n' Paw's 10 day tour

On a phone call prior to their trip, my dad told me he "didn't want to be sittin' around on their visit" he wanted to see as much stuff as possible. I made sure his request was fulfilled. Amongst the six bags of my mom's luggage and thirteen pairs of her shoes, the only pair they really needed were their Nikes. (shameless plug for the swoosh) The 10 days consisted of visits to; Delft, Gouda, Madurodam, Schreveningen Beach, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bruges and Haarlem. Note: Willie Adventures charged them no commission seeing as they are my parents n' all. Click here for the pics.

Boda en Espana!

Our very smart British friends (living in Amsterdam) decided to tie the knot in the lovely beach town of Moraira, Spain. They initially thought the distance would be tough for folks....uh, they had like 99% Yeses. As you can see in the pics, the bride was stunning, the groom not half bad either ... and the views coupled with perfect sunny weather made for a magazine feature story.

While everyone was well behaved during the sit down dinner (all centered around a pool) ... we all became fast friends by night end ... proceeding to toss nearly all the cool kids in the water. Even the bride (although they let her change out of her dress!). Click here for pics.

Run baby run

We hit London to visit good friends Holden and Katie and their 2 super cute girls. Actually enjoyed the brilliant sun for one day... but sadly the rain pummeled us the next day during our 10K Human Race. But we all sprinted the race and came out with decent times, and plenty of limping legs for the following week.
