I Tricked April into Riding the Canyons

This the ride I took April on this past weekend (4/26). I'm slowly exploring the mountains out here and it worked out to be a good first ride for April with some climbing - over 1700ft of climbing and some great downhills through the mountain valley's before reaching the ocean again. Hopefully we'll remember the camera one of these times...

Paul's First Canyon Bike Ride

This was my first canyon ride 3 wks ago... I went solo. I picked an awful one to start with, but the views were really amazing from 2000ft up. Granted, that was after 9 miles of climbing and nearly 1hr 20 minutes of riding. You could see the San Fernando Valley, Hidden Valley and the Pacific Ocean from the top....and descending at 30-40mph while holding both breaks was interesting too...

Long Beach Grand Prix

Paul and I went to Torin & Carol's condo in Long Beach to watch the Long Beach Grand Prix. The balcony of their condo was the best seats in the house. We watched the Imperial Capital Bank Atlantic Championship Race, then we saw a Green Power (solar) Prix-View (On-Track) which kind of looked like a huge roach with all the solar panels on the top of the vehicle. We got to see the parade of the drivers and they waved to us on our balconies and part of the Main Race, which was super exciting since we were located at one of the toughest turns of the race. So cool...

Carol's Baby Shower

Today, I went to Carol Wychico Cunningham's Baby Shower at the Trump Golf Club in Palos Verdes. Carol is my friend from high school (Bishop Amat) and she is such a CUTE preggy! :) Here's a picture of me playing the "guess how big my belly is" game.

April's Birthday Weekend with the Girls

My best friends Saghi, Jackie & Tiffy spent the weekend at my house this past weekend to celebrate the big 3-0 for me. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend on my birthday since they had to do everything that made me happy and they TOTALLY delivered! :) We ate, did Bikram yoga, ate some more, got our nails done, did at-home facials (we looked like smurfs), ate some more, went shopping and ate even more! PERFECT! Thanks you for an amazing time! Above are pictures of the whole gang at Sushi Roku in Pasadena. I love sushi!

April's 30th Birthday

I finally turned the big 3-0 on April 6th. Paul treated my like a princess with many thoughtful surprises and it was a wonderful birthday. Paul & I spent a day with my parents at the Santa Anita Racetrack and we actually had a really great time betting on horses because they had a cool name or were wearing colors we liked! :) That didn't prove to be the best strategy as wel ended up losing $13 total that day. haha...
