San Francisco 2009 - Guide Dog Fun Day Weekend

We traveled to San Rafael this weekend for "Fun Day" kind of an appreciation day for those of us who raise guide dog puppies put on by Guide Dogs for the Blind. Had a great day on campus, met some amazing visually impaired people and also met a hearing impaired lady at our motel. Love talking with these people!! Went to Pier 39, had a great bowl of Chowder and walked the Golden Gate Bridge!! Windsor did awesome, we had a blast!! Great, Great Weekend!!

The Famous Pier 39!!

There was a liberty ship behind us, but didn't show up too well!!

Cycling Along the Coast

We took off around 7 this morning for a ride along the

Oceanside/Carlsbad coast. Weather was perfect and the view fantastic!!

We had a roadrunner in our front yard watching us leave!

Windsor was kind of bummed that he couldn't go with us

but very happy to get breakfast before we left!

Our starting point!

Windsor's New Pool

Windsor does not like the California heat so we thought he might enjoy a kiddy pool. . . What do you all think???

He was looking for somewhere to dig!!

hhhmmmm. . . .Seems to smell ok!!

He is learning how to blow bubbles!!

Looking for his toy!!

I think he likes it!!

Happy Fathers Day

Just wanted to wish all you dads a Happy Dads Day!

Hope it has been a great one!!

Santa Ana River Ride

We left the house at 7:30 this morning for a great bike ride.  We rode the Santa Ana River bed, starting in Corona and turning around at the Honda Center (the Ducks play there).  Round trip was around 31 miles!!  The river bed was full of birds; cranes, ducks, swallows.

All in all a great way to start the day!!!

A view from the back of the 2 man Peloton!!

Not sure if you can see it or not, but this is the Honda Center 

with Edison Field (Home of the Angels) behind it and to the left!!

Breakfast

What's for Breakfast. . . An every morning dilemma.  Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to worry about eating.  Just drink a shake, add some vitamins and that would be it.  How easy would that be!!!  Cheers!!

Exercise

Why is it not so much fun while doing it, but feels great when you are finished???

New To Blogging!!

Ok. . .It has taken me over a month to figure this thing out.  With help from friends, I am going to try and keep this up to date.  It doesn't really look quite like I want it to, but I am determined!!!  Thank you Heather for the info on the fun backgrounds!!

Jeremy and Mia!!!

Boston 2009

Dan did it!!  He qualified and ran the 113th Boston Marathon!!  His finishing time was 3 hours 31 minutes and 53 seconds!!  He wanted to break 3:30 and now states that he has to do it again in order to do just that! We spent time with Jeremy & Robin and their two beautiful daughters.  They educated us on Boston history and took us to some great eating spots!!  Also were able to spend time with Julie, Jamie, Zara and Zara's boyfriend David!  It was great seeing and hanging with everyone!!  Boston was great, the weather kind of cool for us So Cal wimps, but we dressed warm and had a great time!!  Would love to see the city in the fall!!
