Geowoodstock XVI

Geocaching has been a fun hobby for our family for a couple years.  Since Geowoodstock (the large annual gathering for geocachers) was being held in Cincinnati this year and it was free we jumped in the car and headed out to join in the fun.  I didn't really know what we were going to get into but we are always up for an adventure.

We hit a line of traffic backed up at our exit.  We started seeing cars with Geocaching flags and knew we were in the right place.  We parked and started walking toward the park.  I had only ever seen a car with a trackable code once before.  Now about every other vehicle was sporting a travel bug decal.  We started snapping a few pics to log them later.

We had to log in on the official Geowoodstock log...which was this sign

There were trackable cars, trackable shirts, trackable tattoos and even a trackable dog

All in all a fun time.  I picked up a travel bug to take to Europe this summer.  We logged in several lab caches.  We also determined that there are quite a few people who are WAY more into their geocaching than we are.  HA!

Happy 13th Birthday Rachel

Rachel's 13th Birthday and the last day of 7th grade all rolled into one day.  There was plenty to celebrate today.

The present for today was a much-needed bike upgrade.  We followed up our Chick-fil-a dinner and cake with some disc golf and bike riding.

It's also Wannaporn's 13th birthday.  Happy birthday all the way to Thailand!  We love you!
