A Big Boy goes on Vacation...

Today is our nation's birthday, HAPPY 4th of JULY! Thank you to the men and women; past, present and future that serve this country to allow me to live the life I love and have the freedom to write this somewhat-read blog.
Kelli, my parents and I have been visiting New Iberia, Louisiana (and surrounding parts) this weekend for a Family reunion. This family reunion lasted 3 days, yes 3 days, that's how we do it! As some people may know people in Louisiana LOVE to feed you, and feed you well! By the grace of GOD the hotel we have been staying at has a workout room, which consisted of a recumbent bike, treadmill, and an elliptical... Plenty to sweat out the beer, fried food and Cajun-goodness out of my body.... just so we could start it all over again.
The first day, I got 3 miles in on the Treadmill and the next day I was able to get a little circuit training with body weight exercises (push ups, crunches, lunges, squats, jumping jax) and the elliptical.
The food and family was an awesome experience and I love coming to see family in Louisiana, they treat us well and the food is always amazing..... Luckily that isn't the end of the vacation. Now we are on to Destin, Florida with some friends. With the plan to run on the beach a few days while we are gone.

But I wanted to leave you with this parting video. This was shot as 14 people were huddled under a 12x12 tent with a big table and a very hot pot of grease. Why you ask? Well the reason is simple, Bobby's Famous Fried Fish! We all were under this tent not only to stay dry from the storm that forced itself on us, but to hold down the tent so it didn't blow away... We HAD to save the fish fry! Mr. Bobby's fish is worth the wet clothes and soaked shoes. It was a team effort and the fish was DAMN worth it! More to come from vacation.... Stay Tuned!



Thanks For Reading,
Wade
