The Sierra Foothills are so beautiful, but the weather is sort of iffy in May. The week before this race we had a week of real May weather – temps in the high 70s, low 80s. I like racing when it’s on the warm side.

While in Washington, D.C. around Christmas, we visited the National Geographic HQ where they had a display of (live) geckos. Terribly cute for a bunch of lizards.
On a more somber note, we also visited some of the war memorials on The Mall.
Go to Maine – get snow. We were in Maine for Christmas and got caught by the big blizzard. When on vacation we try very hard to go with the flow, so instead of stressing over cancelled flights, we looked at the storm as an opportunity to spend a couple of more days with family.

One of the nice parts of living in a community built by a developer is that most houses have the same tree in the front yard – really. Most of the year this doesn’t matter, but in the Spring all the trees bloom at the same time. Well, almost at the same time. Because of the micro climates, the houses on the south side start blooming about 1 week earlier than the trees on our street. None the less, they all look fabulous right now.
