We celebrated Thing 1’s 11th birthday with a ‘staycay’ weekend in the city. Several items were checked off the summer bucket list. Rather than bore you with details I’ll bore you (briefly) with some pics:
Other than a boatload of walking, my workouts included some Shaun T. action and one last leisurely long run before Marine Corps Marathon kicked off on Monday.

I am honored to be an Ambassador for the Zooma Great Lakes Half Marathon and 5k in scenic Lake Geneva Wisconsin. I’d love it if you’d join me for a relaxing, fun-filled weekend (oh and some racing too) on October 20! See you there?
Take $10 off the half marathon or $5 off the 5k! Just click the image above and use promo code GLAMB3 when registering.

Looks like a fun weekend!
And congrats on ZOOMA – you’ll be a great ambassador 🙂
Judging from your pictures here and on Instagram, your staycation looks better than a lot of my vacations!
I’m jealous of your ZOOMA ambassadorship. That’s too cool!
So fun!!!
Now I want waffles … and a giant cookie … and cupcakes …
Wow-11 years! Happy birthday to her! I would love to do a Wisconsin race… but I don’t think I’ll be traveling for races this fall. There are plenty around here to choose from.
Chicago is such a great city to take kids. I envy you having it so nearby! Looks like you all had a great time.
I’d love to race in Wisconsin in October–I’ll bet it will be beautiful!
Looks like a super fun staycation! And a great idea!
I need to learn to staycation like you and your family! Looks like a blast!
Note to self – running budget for races outside of NY.
And Happy Birthday to the little one!!!
I love you pictures. Stay-cations can be the best.
congrats to your winner and the Zooma Ambassador-ish!
Looks like an awesome birthday staycation! I love Zooma! We have a race a few hours from here at a wonderful resort…it makes for the most awesome girl weekend.
Looks like a lot of fun birthday weekend activities for the whole family!
Love my city, glad you got to have a little piece of it this weekend! It’s kinda sick that I know what hotel you stayed at just from your RS table cloth, hope you had a lovely 5-star time and that they treated you like celebs! I actually used to work there in RS, so if they didn’t…gotta crack the whip;)
Did someone say zoo and cupcakes? Two of my favourite things.
Happy Birthday, Thing 1!! What a really fun staycation you guys had..especially the room service and cupcakes :).
I’ve been going to an hour-long Insanity bootcamp now and then … but it’s clear across town and I hated the commute so just stopped. Was thinking I’d buy the Insanity DVDs but then I found Dr. Oz’s 15 minute Insanity workout (with Shaun T)…I did it twice in a row and thought I was going to puke.
Not boring pics at all!
Congrats to Lisa.
Looks like a great staycation! I would love to run that race someday, but it doesn’t work in our schedule this year.
Way to show the monkey who’s boss! Congrats on being a Zooma ambassador. That’s really cool!
So did you love the lulu tights?
sounds like a wonderful vacation! and I’m so glad that we’ll be running together again this year 🙂
Happy Birthday to Thing 1
