Los Angeles

My family and I vacationed in L.A. recently. My wife's brother Geno lives there in Ranchos Palos Verdes, a really beautiful area and biker's mecca. While we were there, Geno was nice enough (or cruel enough) to arrange for me to ride with his friend Logan. He forgot to mention what a beast Logan is on the bike. Actually we had a great ride along the ocean - what incredible views! It was rather hilly and Logan had to wait for me a lot, but it was nice to get some training in while on vacation.

We also did a lot of the other typical L.A. things with the kids - Disneyland, Sea World (in San Diego), Universal Studios, the beach, Hollywood, etc. The girls also wanted to visit Dash, the Kardashian's clothing boutique. They're pictured below with Khloe, one of the sisters, who was so incredibly nice during our visit. It's a shame Khloe is going through such a difficult time right now.

While I was at WIBA, my wife, my girls, and a bunch of family and friends surprised me by moving all of our stuff out of storage into our newly completed house so that I would have more time to train - how friggin' sweet was that? I got home after being away for 3 days and everything, including all the heavy furniture and boxes, was here. We slept in our house for the first time the night I got back from WIBA. We still have plenty of box unpacking to do, but what a great head start!
