The Week of the Fourth

7/9/2012

0 Comments

 
This year, my Fourth of July festivities were drawn out for most of last week - the benefit of having the big day fall on a Wednesday, I suppose!

Tuesday night (the 3rd for those of you playing the home game), Rob and I went over to  John and Katie's (new!!) house for a BBQ.  Lots of good food and good friends :)  (And of course... I forgot to take any photos... ugh.)

For the actual 4th, Rob and I got up early to head up to Saratoga for the Firecracker 4 (i.e. a 4 mile road race).  He ran, but this time I decided to sit out and just be a supportive spectator.  They had 3,000 racers, though!

Here he is at the (slightly slow) start:

And then here he is coming down the stretch at the finish!

I'm not sure what his exact time was but it was somewhere around 27 minutes for the 4 miles - pretty good if you ask me!  Especially considering how hot it was that morning.

We spent most of the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying the day off... :)


To finish out the week, we headed to one of our Professor's house for a BBQ on Friday night!  We both had Jack as our capstone professor and Rob also took a few other classes with him.  He and his wife invited most of the grad students and some other local students, as well as all of the professors and staff from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department - so much fun!

Grill Master, Jack!

There was tons of food, great company, and their backyard was just perfect for such a beautiful evening (pool included!) :)

It was so nice of them to invite us all over...  We had a great time!
