Walk the Walk

It's going to be a beautiful weekend here in the DC Metro area and I'm so relieved.  While I may not be walking this year, my teammates The Back of the Pack Walkers, will be taking part in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this weekend. 

26 miles for some, almost forty for others. It's quite a challenge and something I am immensely proud of them for.  They have trained through all sorts of weather.  Held fundraisers and raised over $1800 a piece to participate in this monumental, emotional and spirtiual event.  It's amazing. I know, I have done it four times and each time was a different and wonderful experience. 

If you want to know more about the Back of the Pack Walkers (some still need to raise the $1800) or the Avon Walk visit here.  There is still time to support them too.  If you live in the DC area then go out in this gorgeous weather and cheer them on.  It helps keep those steps going as they walk the city streets.  Your kids will love it too.

Let A New History Begin!

It's Inauguration Day! Immerse yourself in some history! Maybe you don't live in DC and maybe your town hasn't gone all pastry-otic (too much?) crazy but it's still a day to mark and remember. TD and I will be sitting in our pj's today eating Obama cupcakes and other treats, learning a civics lesson or two while we watch this amazing day in history. This is quite possibly one of my favorite days. It's like Christmas for history freaks like me.
