Downtown Raleigh Today

Today after T finished his schoolwork we went downtown to walk, see the sights, get Pokemon, and get Poke Stops for Pokemon Go. Yes our son has gotten us to do this with him. I will say this for the game...it sure gets you out walking and exercising. I walked over 3 miles today while walking around downtown. They have made some incredible improvements to downtown also. 

T is sitting on the same cannon at the Capital building that my brothers and I took a picture on when we were kids. Talk about a flashback. 





Made totally of sand. It was over by the History and Science Museums. 

Sparring Training with Arlene Limas and Grant TaeKwonDo

T has really been enjoying being with his team and training with Master Limas and Grant TaeKwonDo Staff. He loves being with his team. They all paired up with kids from different schools to do their drills. He are some pictures of the drills from this morning. They are getting g ready to start the afternoon session. I had to take the pictures through a tinted glass window or a regular glass window depending where I had to be to get the shot at the time.
