Disneyland March 2007

The big trip has arrived! I met Wendy and family in LA and it was off to Disneyland. Leighton has never been of the island (he's done interisland) so it was his big vacation. And what a time it was. We went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm, and Universal Studios. The following is a few pictures of our "Big Adventure".

2007 Philadelphia Flower Show

The grand daddy of them all, the Philadelphia Flower Show is the largest in the US. This is definitely the best in the East, and our NW Flower Show is the best in the West. The theme for this years show is "Legends of Ireland".


Once Upon a Time...

A flickering of fireflies gathered at the edge of a sunlit brook and made its way along the water's edge toward a world of beauty and fragrance.

A brilliant blooming entrance of living walls welcomed them to a land of enchantment.


Where castles overflowed with lush plants,



Where carved boulders told a story of Ancient Ireland,


Where some of this country's most cherished symbols came to life,



Welcome and Enjoy the 2007 Philadelphia Flower Show, celebrating

"Legends of Ireland"






Philadelphia, March 8 & 9

Went to PHL after work on the 7th. Had no problems NR-ing on NW. Planned to see the city the first day and go to the Flower Show all day Friday. The weather was awesome. Brisk wind, but nice and sunny, temps in the mid 50's.

Las Vegas Volleyball Classic, Feb 17-19

This was Kimberly's first full tournament after six months off due to her partially torn ACL rehabilitation. And she did very well. She played the utility position; serving, middle and outside hitter. Here are some of her in action.
Her serving was point on. Kim served tough and accurate. She had a tough time with her serve on Day one, but Day two, she had many aces and shanked passes.







I think that this was supposed to be a "wall" of three blockers, but Kim miss queued.

Overall, the Oahu Tommy 18's finished in 11th place of 96 teams. The winner of the tournament, Long Beach 18 had the number one recruit in the nation. She was awesome, Stanford is very lucky to land her. It was a great weekend of nonstop volleyball. Makes me want to get back in the game too.
