We walked...

and walked, and walked, and walked, at least according to the boys! Last night, we managed to go out walking, and went around two big blocks. I google-earthed the distance, and we walked 2.25 miles! So, for all four of us, that's 9 miles to Tybee Island. If you add in my one from last week, that's 10 miles closer! Only 2429 miles left! How much have the rest of you contributed so far?

And, since we are learning about the areas we pass through, I'll tell you a little bit about the Rose Bowl. It is used by UCLA for all their home games, even though it is quite far from campus. The bowl game called the Rose Bowl traditionally hosts the PAC 10 champion and the Big 10 champion on January 1st, unless one of those teams is in the NCAA championship game, and then it is by invitation. This is why Texas played USC here a few years ago. And Texas won! The parade is always held in the morning, except on Sundays, when it would interrupt the numerous churches that line the parade route.
