[Editor's Note: I wrote this right after our 5K race on Jan. 10 - and then never went back to edit it and add photos! Now that we're approaching our half-marathon date, I decided it was time to actually finish this post!] In my last post, I explained the pre-race process of attending the runDisney … Continue reading Disney 5K Part 2: The Race

Disney 5K Part 1: The Expo
This is our second year of basically wintering in DisneyWorld. It's a pretty awesome thing to be able to finish schoolwork and hop over to Disney for a few hours. A few times last year, we came across groups of Crazy Runner People. We would see them in the Epcot parking lot dressed in sparkly … Continue reading Disney 5K Part 1: The Expo
Bay Landing RV Campground
by Character Queen We are staying at Bay Landing RV Campground. We are here with some friends of ours, Dragontooth and Bluestripe. It has an awesome play set, which is really small, but the equipment is great. There is a merry-go-round, swings, a jungle gym, and some other stuff. We like playing a game based … Continue reading Bay Landing RV Campground
Review: “World of Cubes”
I play a game. It's called "World of Cubes." It's kind of like Minecraft, except without all of the Creepers, Zombies, and Pigmen. I haven't tried making an iron golem yet. You can either choose a Creative World or a Survival World, and you decide what you name it. For Creative, you can also decide … Continue reading Review: “World of Cubes”
Up and Away Rally

Going to Work at the Balloon Fiesta
This week at Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has been filled with incredible experiences. I've seen hundreds of balloons filling the sky all around me, even directly above my RV. I've watched American-flag wielding sky divers shoot out fireworks as they spiraled down through the sky. I've delighted in balloons of all different shapes filling and … Continue reading Going to Work at the Balloon Fiesta
Balloon Fiesta – Special Shapes
Today was all about Special Shapes balloons at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The local schools actually are cancelled today and tomorrow so families can go to the Fiesta, so it was even more crowded this morning than the rest of the week has been. My hubby also took off work today, so our whole … Continue reading Balloon Fiesta – Special Shapes
Synchronicity Part II
In a previous post, I told the story of fulfilling my dream of getting to ride in a hot air balloon at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. I used a large number of photos that I took with my cell phone. However, I took an even larger number of photos with my real camera. So, … Continue reading Synchronicity Part II
Synchronicity
I’ve never been a “bucket-list” kind of person. Maybe if I had watched that movie, I would be more interested in making a list of things I want to do before I “kick the bucket.” As it is, I live a pretty amazing life and just do cool things all the time. That being said, […]
