I sign us up to walk the American heart and stroke walk the morning of our anniversary. We arrived at the event, and chatted with some of my coworkers. We then went to check out the kid zone. Logan was interested to try different kid games, but Connor only cared to watch. Both of them were excited for the freebies that were being given away at different booths. They also waited to get a balloon sword made. Then it was time for the walk. The boys had fun walking while playing with their swords. They periodically asked how far we had to go and how many steps we made, but they did not really complain much. We finished the 5K walk in just about an hour; Stuart timed us and our time was 59 mins 55 seconds. For the record that time involves a lengthy kids bathroom break due to a long line, half-way through the course. Afterwards, we picked up a light lunch, then we headed home for a break.

At home we had a bit of video/tablet time then headed out for dinner. We decided to walk around Santana Row first, and we sat down listening to a musician singing and playing guitar for awhile. He was good and the boys enjoyed it. I asked Logan to go up and give him a tip, and surprisingly, Logan did not mind at all to walk up. Then we had a good dinner at a pizza restaurant. Stuart really enjoyed a strong beer they had there and he ended up getting a second. After dinner, we walked around the area again and the boys wanted to play with the chess set. There were some kids playing with the pieces, so instead the boys eventually watched some locals playing timed chess instead. It was funny that Logan just walked up and stool right next to the man to watch them. We were all amazed how well they played. At the end, we shopped at Target before going home for a late night.
This was a nice day and we enjoyed our 11th anniversary!
