The FJ is gone!

April 11th marked the day that we sold the FJ.  Believe it or not, it was a sad day!  Connor has some great memories of working on this with Dad.
This is the final FJ picture.  RIP.

Last San Fran post

 This was on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz.  I wonder who was scared?
 The beach!
 Waiting for the Tolley!
At the top of Lombard (the steepest and most curvy road in America).

More San Fran...

 One of the funnest (and tastiest) parts of our trip was trying to eat the "Kitchen Sink" at the San Francisco Creamery.  We couldn't finish it.  The guy from "Man vs. Food" ate this whole thing in about 40 minutes!
 A view of the city from Treasure Island
 Connor really wanted to visit Stanford and I'm glad we did.  It's a beautiful campus.
Connor and me even got in a swim at the 50 meter Stanford pool.

San Francisco

We had a great trip to San Francisco for Spring Break.  Here are some of the pictures...
 The Redwood's at Muir Forest were spectacular!
 It was your typical GrizzWeaver hike were we got lost, but at least it was in a beautiful area!  We actually had to hitch a ride from some lady with a lot of dogs!
 A great looking family with the city behind them on our way out to Alcatraz!
 The Golden Gate bridge sitting out behind us.
 Yet another picture of San Francisco (and Alcatraz Island) from Angel Island.
Right where my kids belong, a prison cell in Alcatraz.  We loved this tour, it was very informative and we all enjoyed it a ton.

Connor's 1st Draft Legal Triathlon

 Out of the Swim...

Coming around one of 4 laps on the Bike...

The final stretch of the Run.

This was a fun race to watch.  These athletes were amazing!  Connor finished 17/75.  His swim and transition hurt him a little, but it was an amazing race for his 1st ever draft legal race.

Preston is State Champ!

This says it all!
The Champion and his Hardware and New Singlet!
 The Win!
 Proud Parents!

We'll get the video posted soon, but it was an awesome day!  He is now the 88 pound state champion for 15 and under.  He rolled the Peterson twice in the championship match alone.  The key?  He wasn't even half as nervous as his Dad!  He remained calm and just went out there and did it!  I am flying high to say the least!
