So, if you ever venture into Laguna Beach for the day or just want a quick, local mini break…GO TO THE HOTEL LA CASA DEL CAMINO!! A boutique hotel, on the water (literally 1/2 a block from the break) with an amazing location, good rates, and an amazing view from “The Roof”! Jen, my former co-worker and fabulous friend, had to take a tour of some OC hotels and invited me to join her for dinner last night! SUCH A GOOD DECISION ON MY BEHALF!! I have found my new fave hangout!! The roof has the best sunset in the southland! And, not to be forgotten, the food rocked :)!!
Month: June 2007
My first weekend off!! YEA!
So, this was my first weekend off in over 2 months!! Talk about a nice change of pace for me! HAHA! So, the weekend started off in Chino Hills, with my older sis and her kids. Whenever I get a chance I head over there for some kid action! And if you look at some of these pics, you would think I was their mom (and there is absolutely no blood relation to them…kinda classic if you ask me). 



















From their, I went with Lora to her church for a Junior High overnighter. Lora had asked if I wanted to help chaperone at night and the next day, at the beach. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to spend time with my big sis! And the experience was awesome! These kids were great! 




The next morning we went by Lora’s house to get Jojo, Ceviche, and I-man, and headed down to Newport Beach. Surprisingly this was my first time “going to the beach” at Newport! Scary right? I just never ventured down to Newport for the beach action! But again, it was an awesome experience! 























I left the beach to go get ready for the Dig For Kids Silent Action/Dinner at Sangria in Hermosa Beach that night. Cheri decided to go with me to the event. It was a nice ending to an amazing day!






And of course, I got to spend time with my cutie babies!! 🙂



Now, as I look towards the upcoming weekend I realize that I get to look forward to Sat! Of course I am off to Reno, NV on Sunday so my weekend is short lived…but at least I get Sat right?!!!
Yummy Charleston, South Caroina

So this past weekend the AVPCroc Tour ventured over to Daniel’s Island (aka Charleston), South Carolina. And with the exception of the elements (rain, humidity, mosquitoes) IT ROCKED! We played at the Family Circle Tennis Center (which is a beautiful location to have a tournament). Here are some photos from the tournament & player party.
After the tournament Misty invited me to dinner with her father, brother, sis-in-law, and Karch’s parents (who are absolutely delightful). We had dinner at the Charleston Grill at the hotel Charleston Place (which is GORGEOUS). It had to be the best meal I have ever had or experienced! It pays to know the Soux Chef! Wow. I even tried fish and liver! YUCK but SO GOOD!
I will definitely go back to Charleston again…with a trip to Savannah!! YEA! ONE DAY!
Now I have a mini fake break for 5 days…then off to Reno & Minneapolis…YEA!
ESPN Mag…hahaha
So yea, knowing you are going to be in a magazine for a month is pretty hilarious….but knowing you are going to be in a magazine, in mud, in a bikini, AND next to a gold medalist who has a killer body is FREAKING HILARIOUS! When me and Misty went to Glen Ivy a month and a half ago, we just took pictures for the heck of it…as a result we got free services last month…AND I AM IN A BIKINI IN A NATIONAL PUBLICATION…Hahahahahahahha! Here is the the photo from the the magazine…STRAIGHT CLASSIC!
And on a small side note…go Katie and Tracy too! They are in the pic above….who doesn’t LOVE the Lindquist sisters!!!
Bring it on Barry…
So if you haven’t heard yet, on the first day of Hurricane season we had a tropical storm named Barry role through the AVP event in Tampa….CLASSIC! So besides the gnarly weather, things were actually ok in Tampa! Lots of work of course, but Sat night was fun with some of my fave people AND I got to spend some time with my former roomie & teammate of 3 years in college, Viv. Anyways, I get this weekend off, but am back on the road next week. Charleston is beckoning :)!!
Here are some photos from Sat night at the Green Iguana




















And here are a couple of pics of me and Viv and Viv and her hubby!
