After we played for hours in the pool, we headed out on foot to the University to watch some fireworks.

When we got there I just had to have one of my favorite things from the ice-cream man. It has real pieces of coconut in it!!!

This was my first time trying this wine and I loved it! It was so smooth and had some hints of peppermint in it. I have to find out where I can get it!

The fireworks were so so…I miss being able to do them ourselves 🙁

Even though we got home late last night I managed to get up early and go out with some friends for a 7 mile run. It felt great to get out and pound the pavement. This week I will slowly start incorporate more running for my Chicago marathon training. I can’t believe it’s in less them 100 days!!!

I am off to teach KB.

Question: What is your favorite thing about the fourth of July??

I LOVE the food and friends:)
