It was time for the Disney World Marathon Weekend Health and Fitness Expo. I had never been to a health and fitness expo before and didn’t know what to expect.

Taller wizards in the back – Disney World Half Marathon trip, Part 2
Dan and I met up with everybody at Hogwarts in Harry Potter World in Islands of Adventure. I had heard that it was going to be cold that day, but I wasn’t prepared for how cold. It was about 8 Celsius, which would usually be ok (we’re from Canada) only we weren’t dressed for 8 degree … Continue reading
Let the adventure begin! – Disney World Half Marathon trip, Part 1
2012 started off with a bang as Dan and I arrived in Orlando. We were exhausted because we had spent New Year’s Eve with our friends, having dinner in the 360 degree restaurant on the CN Tower and then at their place where we played Bohnanza all night. Because it was New Year’s day, we … Continue reading
I fell in love again, all things go, all things go – Chicago
Dan and I were at a wedding with our friends Justin and Cassandra when we started talking about Chicago.

I left my heart in San Francisco – Bay to Breakers 12k, Part 2
Our second day in San Francisco was devoted to more touristy things. I love touristy things! I love taking pictures with iconic statues (or ridiculously big things like the Wawa Goose, the Love statue in New York etc.) and I love to buy cheesy t-shirts. So this day of our trip was devoted to all … Continue reading
I left my heart in San Francisco – Bay to Breakers 12k, Part 1
I’d always wanted to go to San Francisco, so when I heard about the Bay to Breakers 12k foot race, I filed it away as something to do one day. I happened to check the website one day and found out that 2011 would be the 100th running of the Bay to Breakers and that … Continue reading
Not on Ticket to Ride but still fabulous
So the destination for my bachelorette ended up not being anywhere on the Ticket to Ride board. My friends took me to (drum roll please) Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! It was amazing and I feel so lucky to have such great friends! I will update more on it soon.
