Alive and Kickin'

Hi all! :)

I am alive... I promise!
After spending an amazing time at home... my Dad came back out to Cali with me! So the last few days have been so much fun running around SoCal with him... literally! A day of shopping... a day at the beach... walking... walking... and more walking...
If there is a daughter like father competition... he and I would WIN! Hands down.

To recap my trip home: Probably best trip home this year!
There isn't a "reason" why... it just was! Perhaps it was the nice weather... perhaps it was that I got to see so many people... perhaps it was the all nighters.. and almost stranded downtown experiences... I am not sure, but it was a great time!

Day one: I leave my apartment at 3:45am! Yes in the MORNING! Holy Cow it was early! Arrive in Denver to breath in the Rocky Mountain air (best part of getting off the airplane for sure!)... 10am!
Woohoo! I am home!
I went straight in to surprise my Grandma at work for her retirement party and.... I think it worked!
I made dinner with my Mom that night... grilled chicken and veggies! So good! And now I "know" how to grill!
And spent the late evening with my two besties from high school, Ann and Kyle! Let the good times rollllll!

Day two:
Worked out... Of course!
Brought in cupcakes to my "Costco Family" (I miss them dearly!)
Spent the day at the pool with Ann and Kyle... and went to Gma and Gdog's for dinner.
My family doesn't quite eat like me... aka they are not freaks of health nature :) But my grandma always makes sure there is something for me to chow down on... so we had our very own Salad Bar! Doesn't get much better than that!

Romain Lettuce with your choice of: tomato
green onions, mushrooms, Jalapenos, cheese, cucumbers, green peppers,
almonds, and balsamic dressing
AKA Britt's Heaven on Earth!

Day Three:
The BIG day: Grandma's Retirement Party!
I woke up to get my butt kicked at 24cycle! I have said it before and I will say it again: Colorado fitness is a whole different world of fitness then anywhere else! We need to get those trainers out here in Cali!
I spent the afternoon running errands with good ole' D... and then it was time to get ready for the night!
Pics of the party coming soon :)

After a fabulous time celebrating Grandma's retirement, it was off to downtown!

Trevor. love him!

Best game ever!
p.s. my new favorite bar!

Day Four: 
Cycle butt kicking again?!?! I think so!
With a two mile run after with my dog "T"... sure thing!
Then it was off to my cousins grad party, where I spent most of the day... and then the evening! I love family! and it was sooooo great to spend some time with my cousins, aunt, and uncle!

Congratulations Whit!

Day Five:
Two mile run around the neighborhood... with a mile sprint at the school track... followed by a mile cool down. Nothing beats a workout in the morning in Colorado!
Then it was off to Fort Collins to spend my last day with more family from the other side :)
Breakfast... Jet skiing.. boating.. ahhhh! Great last day home!

And then it was homeward bound! But unlike every other time... I wasn't traveling alone :)

So now it is D and B time in Cali!

Will catch you up on all our adventures next time!
