42F.  16 @ 7:23 AP.  Another cool run from Aunt Laura's house.  Made it to San Felasco Park for some trail running, though most of the run was transiting to the park.  Maybe 6 miles of trails total.

Driving to Orlando today.  Good visit in Gainesville, I always love visiting here.  Got to see my 93-year-old grandmother every day.  She's quite a lady - raised 7 children, and lived all over the world as my grandpa was a career Air Force officer for 30 years (fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam), so she had to handle all the kids by herself a lot.  Must have been some interesting times...  14 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids now!  

We're all sleeping like princesses tonight!

She sounds like an amazing woman. My grandmother turns 91 in April. I look at her and think of all her hard work and my grandfather and feel foolish for complaining about anything.

Be sure to get your "beauty" sleep.

That's awesome you got to hang out with your grandma. I love talking to old ladies about their lives. There are some impressive and humbling stories out there. Make sure she writes that stuff down!

That room looks awesome! Your daughters are going to have a blast! Have fun, and eat away....
