I took the Megabus to Des Moines to see Tara's gorgeous new home, adorable kiddos, and run a 7 mile "adventure" race with my bestie.

Last weekend we traveled east to the Buckeye state.  We celebrated our friends Tim and Simi's nuptuals for a whole weekend, complete with climbing (him), eating ice cream (her), a beautiful wedding, a killer dance party, and lots of good times with our Patagonia friends.

Rome

We began our European vacation in Roma! We hit up the Colloseum and the Roman Forum.   We walked for miles and miles and saw Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona.  We walked a few steps from our apartment to the Vatican, where I failed dress code.  After a quick change, we listened to Rick Steves tell us all about St. Peter's and we climbed to the top of the basilica.  We took siestas everyday to escape the heat and ate lots of gelato. It was awesome.
