Chuckanut 50km and Relaxing in Bellingham

My first Ultra-marathon in the Chuckanut mountains with my bestie, Madeline.  What a great day - it was warm and then it poured rain - and the course alternated between hard-packed, flat "trails" and single-track ups and downs.  FUN!  Then, we got to relax with Ama and Daco in Bellingham.  Great weekend :)

New Bike for mom

Happy early bday to me - Here's my new (used) Norco!  I love her - and the girls were a big help in picking her out!

Skiing Snoqualamie!

The girls and I hit the slopes before all the snow melted for the season - only their 2nd time skiing ever and they did great!  They went to ski school for a few hours in the morning, while I checked out the bigger hills.  Then, I picked them up and we went on the Magic Carpet over and over and over again - they loved it and were skiing pretty well by the end of the day.  What troopers!

Rocks + Sun + Eyes Closed = Happy
