Happy Memorial Day!

Today my sole accomplishment was a great 2-hour workout and a nap. Well to be fair I also worked for about 5 hours on the computer but in deference to the fact that it is a holiday I worked out on the deck. It has been a busy weekend!

Saturday I raced on a Santana 27 out of Bayview. We won in pretty tight and fun race which included a bit of match racing. Sunday was a busy busy day! Up at 7 and ready to go to the gym but I ended up doing more 'industrial gardening' and house cleaning instead. Just before 12 I hopped on my bike - to march in the local parade.

I was marching with Commissioner Sarah Roberts who is running for the State House of Representatives. The 'theme' for us was clean water - thus the dress with the fish, the fishing rod and net and in the parade I also had a BIG cardboard fish attached to the back of my bike which prompted one terrified kid to yell out to me.... There is a FIISSSSH chasing you!!!! :-)

The parade moved very SLOWLY so it was almost 4pm by the time I got back to the house and the family was over. We took advantage of living in a great place. At the beach Emma made sand castles while Jack kept to the definition of a toddler.... toddling over to the water and falling over and sitting down in the sand and water ... and sand .. and water etc. etc. :-)

Todd took the kids in the kayak and we tried fishing - but didn't catch anything so didn't have to touch them! The evening finished with the locals on the beach around a bonfire on the beach. It was so busy that I forgot to take any photos with people but Tami did and here are a few photos of my 'Weekend Playground'.
