Lotsa Bike Racing...

Check out this link to a video on youtube created by one of my team mates. It shows some of the bicycling road racing I've been doing this year with the Valley Athletic Bicycling team. I completed a difficult two hour moutain bike race yesterday and I'm sitting here pretty beat up today, but it has been a fun racing season so far!

Dave and Karen's visit to Oly

Eric's Dad (Dave) and girlfriend Karen came to visit us in Oly last weekend. They spent most of their trip in the Portland, Oregon area, but spent a long weekend with us. We did some fun stuff: went to a Tacoma Rainier's game, strolled along the Oly waterfront and Farmer's Market, toured the Capital campus, brunch at the Budd Bay Cafe, went to Westport, and had a picnic at the Boston Harbor Marina. It was a short, but nice visit.

Who are those two relaxed and happy vacationers?

Yummy seafood brunch at Budd Bay Cafe.


It was like 95 degrees while Dave and Karen were here. Carmen was hot so we took her next door to our neighbor's pool. She didn't really like it because she thought she was going to get a bath. She was a good sport though!


We couldn't take the heat, so we hopped in the car and drove to the coast, BUT is was cold there! What happened?


Eric and Carmen had fun in the surf anyway...


We enjoyed a nice dinner together on their last night in Oly before they headed back to Oregon for the rest of their trip.
