Leesburg Va. Police Department – Todays picture shows me taking a picture of Deb and Nicole strolling along main street of Leesburg. At that moment I couldn’t help noticing a policeman spying on us from a round the corner a few stores back. Then he was gone and as I took a couple more pictures I saw him peeking around the corner and he was in more of the pictures. I played it cool and quietly told Deb and Nicole to keep walking normal we are being followed by Leesburg law enforcement. We then all ducted in to a store front and waited patiently to confront the officer. Sure enough we surprised him and started questioning him !! He laughed and said we looked a little suspicious , then he said he was trying to avoid being in our vacation photos and everytime he thought we were done he would pop back out and I snapped the next picture, ha,ha. So it was pretty funny. We talked for a while with him and found out all his family was from Michigan and growing up he had many fun memories in Michigan . We also talked about the Detroit Lions winning streak , ha,ha. He is a Field Operations Division Officer for the Leesburg Police Department. His name was Matthew Bennett. Very nice policeman and he even gave us a card with his name on it.
That told us we must have been the nicest three tourists he had ever met, ha,ha,ha.
Another 3 mile run this morning and feeling great. This weekend there is a 8K Fall color Mackinaw Bridge Run but I am not sure I could or should try 2 miles more yet with the first two and a half miles uphill. I don’t want to hurt my knees.
Have a great Tues.
