Strawberry Fields Tri 2008
Jamie Silber and Dean Theodore put on yet another awesome Oxnard event, with the help of many LATCers coming out to race, or staff the event, of course!

4th of July ~ Napa & San Francisco
Jabus and I had an awesome time touring wine tastings and great restaurants for 4th weekend. After a few days of over-indulgence, we moved the party to San Francisco, before heading home.

One of the beautiful Vinyards, Darioush. I'd say, the landscape was better than the vino.

MERETE AND FINN ~ Aug. 2008
I visited my Mom, Gram and Aunt in Connecticut this Aug. My brother and his crew drove up from D.C. for the party. Here are Merete and Finn, both mesmerized by a Gwen Stefani video on my computer... yeah, I got a few no-no looks from Stina and my Aunt Mary for showing it to them. Check out their faces!

Merete and I had GIRLS NITE at a hotel, and here she is showing off our "princess suite", as we called it. We ordered a movie and room service, which she thought was just the bomb!
