We're traveling to my youngest daughter's destination wedding in August. It's at Majestic Elegance in Punta Cana, Santo Domingo. It's my first trip out of the country (besides 2 small side-trips into Canada (once from MN, once from Michigan). > > 2. What kind of vacation do you prefer?
We prefer everything outdoors, mountains, Great Lakes, outdoor concerts, raft rides on the Snake River at the base of Grand Tetons, driving all day through everything at the Black Hills (5 trips so far), anything scenic, plus a bit of casinos. (5th trip to Deadwood, SD, was in Sept). I prefer no museums or indoor activities (except casinos). > > 3. What was your all-time favorite vacation?
Besides our first trip to Yellowstone, I'd say our first trip to Michigan when we traveled from IA to Michigan for our first outdoor Hall & Oates concert, met Mizletts and her husband,took the steamship,The Badger,from Ludington (where we met Mizletts) to Wisconsin (3x we've returned home that way), plus went to Mackinaw Island, went on horse-drawn carriage ride where we toured and ate at the Grand Hotel, toured Fort Mackinac, shopped and then took the boat ride at Pictured Rocks on the south shore of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula. (we've gone back 3x)
<I>going somewhere I have never been - going to the places I read about as a kid</I>
> 3. What was your all-time favorite vacation?
<I>Vacations are favorites for various reasons. Disney World as the kids' reactions were priceless. The waterfall swimming place in Bosnia. Swimming in the natural pool surrounded on three sides by waterfalls was and is unforgettable. The view from the top of St Peter's in Rome. The awesomeness of the Grand Canyon. Israel ---- and Lots of favorites. Can't pick just one.</I>
Set 1, repeated 3 times --wood chop with 10 lbs dumbbells, 12 reps --sliding mountain climbers, 20 reps --bar pull ups, inclined slightly, 10, 12, 12 reps --lunging lateral flies, 5 lbs dumbbells, 12 reps each leg 2X, 6 reps each leg last set
Set 2, repeated 3 times --squat with forward jump across and back --lying down chest flies, 10 lbs dumbbells, 12 reps --alternating plank dips, 10 reps --kneeling up downs, 5 reps each leg
I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do the jump portion of the squat sequence. Since my feet seem to refuse to come off the floor together, I thought she would have to change this. Guess what? I was able to do them! Now, the jumps were not far, but my feet cooperated and came together.
For the stretching, the table was being used by someone so we had to go to the floor on a mat. For me, it wasn't so bad, but the trainer had to work a bit harder to get the stretches done. Once again, the stretching was very much needed and appreciated.
Before I left, I did a quick weight check and it appears the scale is showing a bit of movement. I hope it continues and shows the drop on Tuesday, my official weigh in day.

• Integrate sports/PE into art curriculum (specifically photography)
• Authentic and relevant combination of art and sports
I'm looking because I have an apathetic, disengaged, at-risk, proudly latino student (recalcitrant too, but I'm becoming attached to him) who has communicated some interest in sports, especially swimming and some soccer. He's come to our charter as a last-ditch effort to graduate high school.
It always seems to be the very athletic kids that disengage the most in art. I also have the hardest time making art relative for sports enthusiasts in comparison to pretty much any other subject.
In HS my son drew a picture (black and white) of a couple of boxers. When my DD took photography in HS she did a portrait of her dressed as a well-known person.

Set 1 --curtsy lunge, 10 per leg, 10 lbs dumbbells --bird dog, 10 each side --lat pull down on cable machine, sitting on stability ball, 60 lbs (increased to 80 for last 2 circuits) --sumo static squat, twist with 10 lbs kettle bell, 5 each side Repeat 2 more times
Set 2 --jumping jacks with 3 lbs dumbbells, one minute (30 seconds last circuit) --inch worm, 10 times (cut to 5 last circuit) --back lunge into front raise, 10 each leg, 10 lbs dumbbells(cut to 8 last circuit) Repeat 2 more times
I love that my trainer adapts my routine when she sees that my form suffers. She waits until the last minute to make these changes so that I push through the moves.
From here, she did my stretches which felt so good. As she was doing these, she asked if I noticed any changes yet. I told her about the weight not changing, but that the belly jiggle was gone. She told me not to stress about the scale and that next week, she would remeasure me and that would show how much improvement I've made. She did say that her focus was going to be body fat percentage and not the scale.
I must first brag about the weather. Mid 30's. Sunshine. February 1. Wow. I did two walks, but I lengthened the second one to enjoy a few more rays. 16,183 total steps. Banking for the future. ;)
Keep coming back. We're worth it. (Borrowed from another organization I used to belong to.)
