We had a great vacation at the beach! We got there late on Friday night, just in time to see Mike, Peggy, and Brooke before bed. On Saturday we had a lazy morning and then went to the Expo for the runners to pick up registration packets and browse the vendors. Later we got lunch together along the main strip of Va. Beach. 
We went to the beach for a few minutes that afternoon and took pictures of the baby, spent some time in the hotel room, and then went for pizza and ice cream and a walk on the boardwalk. 
Sunday was the big day...the Rock 'N' Roll half marathon. Aaron and Mike ran and the women cheered them on along the side of the course. They did great! They both finished around 2 hours. There was a tremendous amount of people there and it was very inspiring to watch them compete. Glad it wasn't me, though :). 
Aaron is in the very middle of the picture in the gray shirt. Here he is at the home stretch...only a few tenths of a mile to the finish line along the boardwalk. 
I enjoyed my job as head cheerleader for my hubby. Vivian cheered for a while, too, but before her dad got to us she started getting sleepy so I turned her around to take a nap.
After the race, we met up on the beach and rested for a few minutes.
Congratulations, men.
Yes, this is a picture of a dumpster. It's the dumpster at the hotel where we stayed. What a crazy story...Aaron's registration bag from the Expo was missing on Saturday night. It is a really important bag...it had his bib number and his time chip in it for the race. He had to have it. After some deducing, we figured out that housekeeping had thrown it away! Aaron went down to the dumpster and sifted through the trash to find it. We all thought it was a lost cause, but only 10 minutes later he came back to the room with bag in hand. He had found it in the 4th trash bag he looked in!

On Sunday night we went to a nice dinner and finished the vacation with an adventurous bike ride. It was really crowded along the bike path but Aaron and Brooke did a great job navigating, and we didn't crash into anyone. We came back Monday morning after breakfast. Great trip. Vivian did fabulous.
