Nashville

This year for our "Staff Outing" we went to Nashville, IN for the day. We met at the courthouse for a picture before taking off for shopping. Of course shopping doesn't compare to getting pampered at French Lick like we did last year, but we still had a great time! Everyone was able to make it except Kim who was on her honeymoon! I really do work with a good bunch of people. As many as there are, it is amazing how well we get along (most of the time.)

Danielle took my picture of a cute hat I was trying on. (It really was cuter in person!) I would have bought it, but it was too expensive!

Amy got friendly with the mechanical orange talking man in front of the fudge shop!

We were treated to lunch at the Artist's Colony before shopping some more! It was a beautiful day!

10-10-10 Chicago Marathon

It was a beautiful day to be a spectator of the Chicago Marathon! For the runners, however, it was warm! Craig and I joined Sarah and Eric's parents in Chicago to cheer on Eric as he ran his first marathon. I was so amazed to see the Kenyans take off and lead the pack.

There were sooo many people! 45,000 runners and 1.7 million spectators!

Spectators have to be well hydrated too!

Eric was a St. Jude hero and raised funds for the organization. Eric was able to raise over $1,300!

We saw a lot of pink! We made it to Chicago late Saturday night and different parts of the skyline were lit up pink.

Some of the scenery along the way during different stops to see Eric.

I have no explanation for this random eyeball that was down the street from where we had lunch. It was huge!

Yay! Congratulations Eric!
