Our First Time to Mammoth Mountain, CA

Last weekend Jillian and I went to visit our friends Trevor and Leah in Mammoth, CA. They moved from Loma Linda 6 months ago to Mammoth and we finally found a weekend that we could go up and visit them. Of course the snowboards had to be packed just in case there happened to be some snow up there. We ended up being there on the best day ever, 2 days before it had snowed 15 inches one day and 18 inches on the next, and the day we went was blue sky (as you can see). The powder in the tree's was awesome, we covered as much of the mountain as we could.

A California Adventure with the Poblacions

To start off the month of March Byron and Tracy invited us to go to California Adventure with them for the day (really I think they just wanted to use Jill's season pass that has free parking), just kidding. We had a good time, we all took the single rider line on the grizzly rafting ride and Tracy won for getting the most wet. Later on I went again while Jill, Byron, and Tracy went on the tower of terror. I know, I am a big weenie. We did get corn dogs at the Corn dog King Castle and an ice cream in the old Zephyr train car. Later we watched the Pixar parade with all the characters from the animated movies (to bad the light parade wasn't going that day). We were surrounded by little 12-13 year old girls all day because apparently we went on the day that Disney was hosting the national junior cheerleader competitions, which made the crowds even crazier.

The Amgen Tour of California

In February Jill, Byron and I went down to Pasadena at the Rose Bowl and watched the riders of the Amgen Tour of California finish there stage 7 from Santa Clarita to Pasadena. Vendors were out from bike company's to herbal life (Byron and I enjoyed a nice shake) and we picked up as much free stuff as we could find. The riders finished the stage at the Rose Bowl and did about 5-6 circuits of a final loop before the race ended. We got to see a number of break aways and a lot of world renowned riders in the main pelaton.
