Okinawa, here we come!

This weekend we're headed to Okinawa where my super-human husband will run his first marathon in Naha. We'll spend a few days sightseeing and stuffing our faces. Can't wait to share the adventure with you when we return.

In the meantime, enjoy the below picture of a shisa, which are found all over Okinawa. They are believed to ward off evil spirits and are a cross between a lion and a dog. Scary, huh?

His first in Naha. Has he done others? Kore is doing a half marathon this weekend, which will also be his first. He's done atriathalon before but not just running. I agree. Super-human. I'll stick to my mile maybe two (if someone is chasing me!)

Tell Travis good luck! And have fun in Okinawa.

It will be Travis' first marathon ever, not just in Naha. He's crazy. I often consider doing it, but I am pretty sure I'd poop out before the training even began.
