The show, and the Snow

Saturday started off with The girls and I going to the international motocycle show in Long Beach Convention center. We picked up Kelly, and made our way up to LA. 2hrs.
All the manufacturers were there with their new models, and all kinds of vendors, and exibitors with there new products, and liquidating their old products. The girls got all kinds of stickers, sat on bikes, and watched a streetbike stunt show. Kelly and I got our eyes filled with other eye candy as well.



Sunday morning was a break in the rain. We loaded up the trunk, and we took Kelly, and went to the Cuyamaca mountains outside of San Diego. It is about a 45min drive, and we were in snow!
We took a few pictures, threw a few snowballs, and drove to a lake resort and got a cup of hot chocolate. We drove to the Indian reservation, where there is a outlet mall. bought a few items. We had to.. its Kims law! Had some dinner at the Casino, at the outletmall/ Casino. and we made our way home

Chino Hills Holiday Classic

We had another overnight tournament this past weekend. IT was cold! The Chino Hills Holiday Classic. was almost rained out, but the facility has artificial turf. This stuff is top of the line stuff. The pouring rain had minimal effect on it.during the day it was 50-55 deg., and when the sun went down, it dipped to 35 deg.. We bundled up, used heaters and blankets. We could see snow in the mountains just north of us about 10-15 miles away. The 14u team that I coach, and 'A' plays on, made it to the semi finals, where we met a very strong team from Cerritos, and lost 9-1. We tried everything, but just couldn't hit the ball. The 10u team met some girls that were obviously overaged, and outsized us. The 10's gave everyone they met, the best they could, but when you are playing teams from Orange county, lets face it, they are the best in the U.S. which makes them the best in the world. Softball is done for now. we will take about 1-2 months off, and we are going to try to go riding, and do some golf. We got the Christmas lights up on Monday, but I did not get any pictures yet.
