Did I Tell You That We're Walking To Las Vegas?

Yep, that's what we're doing!
We just finished walking to Jekyll Island and had our "seaside" luncheon. By we, I mean all our library staff. And by "seaside" luncheon, I mean we had a potluck in the auditorium. Our tables were decorated with checked table cloths, sand pails and shovels, sand strainers, and shells. We had a great time. So great that we decided we needed to walk again.
This time we're walking to Las Vegas. Josh, whose brain is bigger than mine, figured out that from Moultrie to Las Vegas is 2,119 miles and that long distance would give us 42,380 minutes of exercise! Makes me huff and puff just to think about it.
Lots of us are wearing pedometers now and, of course, our tennis shoes. We count our steps for a week and then put the number of steps we've accumulated on the map in the break room. All the steps add up across the country until we get to Las Vegas.
When we get there, figuratively speaking, we plan to have a feast of southwestern flavored foods. Our tables will be decorated with all kinds of interesting things. And some of us may even wear our big sombreros and huaraches.
But the most important part is that we are moving...we are walking...and helping to keep healthy. That's the goal of walking to Las Vegas.
Stay with us. No telling where we'll walk next time.
