We made our annual pilgrimage to Charleston, SC last week for the Kiawah Island Half-Marathon.  Marel and I have yet to make marathons our thing, but believe being able to run 13.1 miles several times a year will force us to stay in pretty good shape.

We always enjoy this trip and getting together with friends and family in the Southeast.  It was difficult to leave Charleston on Sunday when it was sunny and 75 degrees for Seattle’s cloudy and 34.

Kiawah Island does a great job with this race including an ample supply of beer at the finish line.  We also got to enjoy a few great meals in Charleston including Hank’s and Magnolia’s.

Oh…and if the guy on the 6am out of Seattle to Atlanta that refused to switch seats so my wife and I could sit together with our little one is reading this – thanks again.
