Its getting tough! (10 miles)

We both collapsed on the floor when we came home at around 8:45 tonight. The idea was to do some stretching immediately before my mom made us both a large mojito, but once we were horizontal there wasn't much movement going on. Mikey thought we were playing a game and brought us his bobo (a stuffed animal version of himself).

We completed 10 miles today. We weren't able to walk this morning because our church had its free school supply store. After we were done with that, we had to wait for the temperature to go down so my mom and I went to Target to see if they had restocked the margarita mix buckets my dad likes so much (I know, I live with what would seem like alcoholics, but they just like the lame fruity stuff so I am not worried). Target disappointed us yet again. It seems they are so involved in their remodeling that they have forgotten about all the quasi-alcoholics who need their slushy drink fix before bed.

All day I was in denial about the fact that by the end of the day I would have walked 10 miles. My mom and I decided that we needed a nap before we could begin but once we laid down we realized it was already five o'clock, time to get started!

My dad walked with us for the shortest distance ever...wimp!

We walked to the Maryland Science Museum and ate dinner at the food court in the inner harbor. I had subway and my mom had pizza (and we wonder why we haven't lost any weight since we started this thing).

The inner harbor was full of people today, not exactly sure why, I guess everyone is getting all their outdoor time in since the summer is coming to a close. The S. S. John Brown 441' Liberty Ship (a.k.a. ginormous ship) was parked in the middle of the inner harbor and was open for tours but my mom and I decided to pass, we were on a mission.

A plane flew by with a banner that said "will you marry me?" and we passed two wedding receptions. The second one we passed the bride and groom were getting their pictures taken. Its always so exciting to unexpectedly be a part of someone special day!

During our walk home we made some phone calls and arraigned for everyone to be in L.A. for labor day weekend, and by everyone I mean the whole Graves clan.

In other important news, we stopped at a public bathroom, my mom used the chap stick in the satchel, we drank two bottles of water each, and we found a penny that will go towards my mother's fund for breast cancer.

It took us a total of 3 and a half hours to walk 10 miles. I am really hoping that I have a job and have moved far far away by the time my mom has to walk 18 miles.
