city and shore

Rich and Katie, a couple in our lifegroup moved to Buffalo last week, so before thy left we all headed to the city for one last hooray. Rich's grandma has an apartment in midtown with an amazing roof top garden. His Nana entertained us with wonderful stories and we had a hard time leaving the roof top. After Nana's apartment we grabbed dinner and then wondered around the city for a while.

Today Brett did his first duathlon. He had to run 2 miles, bike 10 miles, and then run 3 more miles. Yesterday at the last minute Mark, Brett's dad, decided to do it too. We dragged ourselves out of bed at 4 am so we could meet Mark and Jacki, get everything loaded, and leave by 5:00 to head to Long Branch at the shore. It was a nasty morning; cold and rainy. We were pretty miserable just watching so I am sure the boys had to be having a hard time. They both finished and I am so proud of them. Now it is time for a relaxing evening and early to bed.
