Our First 5K

Last Saturday our church sponsored a 5K to raise awareness and funds for A21. A21 is to abolish injustice in the 21st Century. One of the things A21 does is help victims of human trafficking. Atlanta's Airport is a hub for human trafficking.

Roo and I planned on doing this a few weeks ago. The walk was in Birmingha so it required us to leave at 5:30 a.m.  While I was waiting on Roo, Matthew woke up and came out to the car and wanted to go with us. I hadn't given him a lot of information about the 5K so after he hopped in the car, he looks around and says "Wait, where are we going?" He jumped in the car without realizing we were going to Birmingham. It was hysterical. 

The walk filled us with giddy endorphins and we took silly selfies. Once M realized there were prizes, he took off running and left us in the dust. 

After the 5K, we filled our hungry tummies with pancakes and omelettes at The Original Pancake House. A quick trip to Macy's and Whole Foods, then we headed home.

I included a picture of the morning sky that I asked M to take while driving down to Birmingham. Isn't it pretty?
