Weekend with the Grandmas

I love San Diego.  I love how you don't have to get up at 5:00 AM to do something active.  I love how 85 degrees is scorching to the locals.  

Chris and I had the opportunity to take a quick weekend trip to Cali with 3 other couples.  We went Kayaking, which was pretty fun (except for the motion sickness part), we went to see a Padre's game, and rented beach cruisers and rode our bikes up and down Mission and Pacific beach.  It was so dang fun that I forgot all about taking pictures...whoops!  I can't wait for our next vacation!  

While Chris and I were having fun in SD, Nadi stayed the weekend with her grandmas.  She got to spend lots of time with Toby and Tink and she loves my mom's pool.  When we finally brought her back home she was a little bored with just Chris and me, but she did seem excited to see us!

In other news, I officially have a job with CCSD!!  7th grade...here I come!  I also got a new road bike (see picture below)!  I still have to get a couple accessories for it, but I'm way faster and it's very pretty.  Our tri training is still ongoing and I think I'm picking up some speed!

  Below are a few pictures of Nadi on her weekend get-a-way.

Triathlon Training

While Nadi has been busy training to be a good dog with some snazzy tricks, I decided I needed to do some training of my own.  These last couple of weeks, my sister-in-laws and I, have been training for a Triathlon.  I'm actually really excited about it.  We are doing a 64 mile bike ride in August and our Tri is in September.  Lately, we've been doing a lot of bike riding (we joined a bike club) and we just started swimming.   A couple of Saturday's ago, Kristin (my sister-in-law, pictured above) and I decided to do the Boulder City loop bike ride. This ride is about 35 miles and it's pretty intense.  The ride connects with US-93.  I've become very familiar with this highway, and there's a couple of things I can tell you about it.  The pavement is hot and rocky, and if you're going 20 miles an hour and try to get on the sidewalk you could end up looking like road kill.  Below are pictures of the injuries from my first bike wreck.  That's right....war wounds.       

     

The rest of our summer has been flying by.  Chris has been doing a lot of golfing lately and we attended a really fun wedding last week.  I'm also expected to sign my official contract with the School District in 3 weeks. Hopefully all goes well!

Nadi's still doing fantastic with all of her tricks.  She's really starting to grow fast!  For the 4th of July we took her to a pretty big party, where she got lots of socialization!!  Grandma had to rock her to sleep to get her to calm down.

Hope you enjoy Nadi's latest video!
