Love the mileage on the MINI. Of course, you can see what our average speed is. It was higher, but I made Leadfoot slow down from 90 mph. Our miles to empty says 441 miles. We could get to Ohio on that!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame - Birthday Edition
Here is some video from the big party last Sunday. First of all, here is the Chipster standing in the field at the Rome Braves game, while the entire stadium sings Happy Birthday to him:
Next up, we have video shot and produced by our friend Tony, who is a professional (he is a video editor at CNN). It gives you a great summary of the party - the setting, the people, and the things we did. You can watch it in HD if you'd like.

Happy Birthday To Our Little Chipster!
There are so many videos and things we'd like to post, but after such a fun and exhausting weekend, here are a couple of links where you can see some snapshots from the past week. We hope everyone will have a wonderful week!
Visit from Wolfgangs and Machynia
There is one highlight we would really like to share. In the middle of the fourth during the Rome Braves game today, they brought him onto the field so that everybody in the stadium could sing Happy Birthday to him. It was such a special moment, and we think he is the most special boy on Earth.

We Did It!
We had a wonderful Independence Day weekend, but the highlight, as always, was the Peachtree Road Race. The event was very well-run, the crowds were supportive and motivating, and we actually did pretty well. We didn't walk a single bit, which was our goal. You can see our entire photo album of the day here, and here are some highlights:
