Softball is here! In fact, it’s a few weeks old. Last night, Frankie got a hit and scored her team’s only run, and then Barbara mopped up the game at catcher.

The Full Schedule is after the break. Hope you can make a game!

We stayed here during Spring Break and promised we would come back. We stayed in the historic Hotel Colorado (no AC!), and discovered some new running/biking trails around the hotel. The highlight of the entire trip for the girls was the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, an amusement park with an alpine slide, roller coasters, zip lines, and other puke-inducing abominations. To get there, we just had to walk three blocks from the hotel and take a tram to the mountaintop. We all had a blast, and don’t tell my orthopedist that I did the rock-climbing wall.

We passed through Salt Lake City today, and stayed with a friend. Before we got there, we passed through the Bonneville Salt Flats, had lunch at the Salt Flats Cafe. Yum! We checked out the speedway, and thought the salt was a little muddy, I think Chocho set a land speed record for dogs.

Elko was just a stopover but was a pleasant surprise! We stayed in a very comfortable hotel, with separate bedrooms, and got a chance to do laundry. There were some good running routes, and La Fiesta, an excellent Mexican place. Machaca!

So Lake Tahoe is pretty, but the south shore is pretty developed and busy, and we hit it on Memorial Weekend. Crazy! Our main goal was a hike around Echo Lakes, but when we got there we could not even find a place to park. So, we bailed and went for a shorter hike on the lake, then found a shady park for some softball practice.

We’ll stop overnight in Elko, NV before heading to Salt Lake City.

We spent a whirlwind evening in San Francisco, at the very dog-friendly Argonaut Hotel, and found some excellent bi bim bap at a Korean place called Stone. The next day, we took a side trip to the St. Francis Winery (Ang’s favorite) and did a wine tasting. Fun!

We had a full day yesterday traipsing around Yosemite National Park. After a four mile hike through the Mariposa Sequoia Grove, a walk with Choch on the Meadow Loop in Wawona, Yosemite Falls seemed like an afterthought. Lots to do there, gotta go back some time…
