A couple of weekends ago we all headed to Memphis for Fred to run the St. Jude Half Marathon. Before we got to Fred and Renee's we went to the Cook Convention Center for the runner's expo. After the expo we rode the trolley around Memphis. The boys loved it!! Below you can see pictures of Fred in the middle of the race and at the finish line. We didn't make it into the arena in time to see him cross the finish line since there were so many people, but we eventually caught up with him.
Since Fred was a St. Jude Hero this year he qualified for several "perks". One of those perks was extra post race food at the Double Tree Hotel directly across from Auto Zone Park (the finish line). It was so cold and the wind was blowing so hard so the boys and I headed to the hotel to warm up. Their eyes lit up when we walked in and there were elevators. We immediately had to ride it up to the top. The man that got on the elevator with us asked what floor we were on and I told him we were just taking a joy ride. He looked at us, smiled and pressed the button for floor ten. You have never seen two boys more excited to ride the elevator. Once their Pawpaw got to the hotel they were ready to ride it again. You can't really see the picture, but they are riding the elevator with Pawpaw. Good times!
