i'm goin back to cali

On a last minute whim we were invited to go camping on the beach with some friends. After a stressful couple of days trying to decide if we should go, turned out the spot was taken. Whew! I was feeling like we should go just because we weren't doing anything else, but not really wanting to. Glade wouldn't go so that would mean another trip by myself. I was relieved to have to not make that decision. Later that same day, Glade said he talked to Jake and now he wanted to go and we would just squeeze onto their campsite. Really? Glade's big race is in 3 weeks and training is really hard right now because of the heat. He thought San Diego would be a good place to go have one more big ride and run before the actual event. So now we are going.

We decided to leave on Monday, which was 2 days away. AHHHH! I was able to convince Chelsey to come along and then she wouldn't be alone on her 18th birthday. Everything was going well until we got a call from Amy and Tyler (they borrowed our van to drive to a family reunion and were coming back late Sunday night), the van was not working well. Crap. Now What? We hmmm'd and haw'd and decided we would take two vehicles and still go. Then we got another call saying the van seemed to be fine once they dropped down in altitude. Ok, then it's the van. Now we are off to Cali in our van that seems to be doing fine and excited for some beautiful 70 degree weather.

Once we get back, it's only 10 days till the big kids start school. I guess that mostly takes care of summer! Two days after they start back, Glade and I leave for Napa Valley for his race, when we get back, it's only 10 days till the other kids start back. THEN just three weeks after that, we have our Red Rock Relay in Utah. I really better get running!
