Alaska Bound

Five of us are flying to Anchorage today; Joy, Becki, Stephanie, Lisa and me. A few of us went to grad school together at Clemson or work together now. Our home base is Carin's in Anchorage, another Clemson alum. Plans include paddling in Seward, 4 days in Denali, and Fairbanks which will include hiking and camping. We arrive late tonight but head out early tomorrow for 2 days in Seward and an all day paddling trip to the Kanai peninsula. More to come...

Summer

June and July have been busy months.  We drove West for Sean to race his third year at Tulsa Tough and in route we stopped in Mountain View, AR to mountain bike.  We had a great time and Sean won enough money to pay for our trip.  We spent July 4th in Clemson and have played in the mountains during off weekends.  Next on the list...for me Alaska and for Sean a visit to Keil in Idaho.

 

Family Time

May was a busy month with travels to Clemson, Tsali, and Indiana.  We were proud of our niece and sister-in-law for completing their bachelors degrees and had a great time visiting family!  In addition we moved Miss Molly up to the mountain and I raced with teammates 12 hours of Tasli, bringing home the win!

Spring Break

Spent the week at Hilton Head with Joy on a "working" break. We enjoyed a little down time and the wildlife. Sean and I spent the weekend camping in Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia. I would say the Weddell's are ready for summer!

Winter Wonderland

The final portions of the mountain to sea trail are being finished in our area (1000 mile trail across NC). We were lucky enough to hike a new portion off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a cold hike in 13 degrees and gust up to 30mph with some snow on top, but well worth the views!

Costa Rica

We had a great time in Costa Rica on a study abroad trip for ASU. Back to work and school next week!

Winter

is finally here! Went out for my first day on the slopes and the legs are feeling it! Heading down to Kiawah for the half marathon and a visit with the girls. Happy Holidays!
