Welp...we finally did it. Nat and I went on a vacation to Walt Disney World (gasp!) without our kids! Yep. And...we had an amazing time. We were there to run the 2017 Wine and Dine Half Marathon which was a makeup for the canceled Half Marathon in January of this year. You can see how Nat ran a 'bandit' half to make up for it at the Polynesian here in a post from earlier this year.
Nat ran a half marathon in Oak Brook back in 2013 that you can read about here.
This race, however, was something that we decided to do together. That meant training together (when we could) and running together, despite my speed being a lot slower than Natalie's! Even though she was literally running circles around me during the race, she stuck with me and we finished together.
Our time wasn't record-setting, but that wasn't because we were just slow. We also spent some time enjoying the festivities. Here we are on the Tower of Terror ride at the 10 mile mark. In.the.middle.of.the.race! I hate thrill rides.
The race was great, but the few days we were together in Florida - just the two of us - were the best part. I'm so fortunate that I got to take a relaxing vacation with my best friend. And...we're both lucky that both Noonie and Grammy were able to step in and care for the three kids while we were out of town. Thanks Noonie and Grammy!
Does this count as a Disney World trip? Kind of, right?
