Travel took up most of June, so while we got to see some pretty awesome sights my fitness was a little stagnant. Glad that #MRTT can pull me out of the post vacay slump.

Mom Camp 2017 was the best! Until I got stuck in Nashville. Travelling is fun until you’re ready to be home with your babies. We added more camping adventures to our list of experiences.
