The Adventures of Us
Enjoy our adventures below as we try to balance our lives between work, two kids, and ... relaxation.
We started off the day with, surprise! A run! The annual Turkey Trot is a 10K (6.2 miles) race that takes place at the Sparks Marina each year on Thanksgiving morning. Last year was the first time we did this race and we…
