Travel Day to Lake Placid

Sometime you know it's early in the morning. Like, the sun isn't up yet, or, not many cars on the road. You know you're up really early when the newspaper hasn't even been delivered and the overnight work crews on the freeway are still working away. That's how early we had to get up. 6:00 a.m. flight from SFO, meant being there just before 5:00 a.m., meant leaving the house around 4:00, meant getting up around 3:30 a.m. But we did it, up early, out the door and made it in plenty of time for our flight. Ellie and I flew from SFO to Chicago, then onto Albany. And if you know our history with Albany airport, nothing was guaranteed. But we arrived on time. Bags arrived on time. So getting into Albany was nice and easy. We stayed the night at a hotel near the airport, then grabbed the shuttle to the Training Center on Sunday, along with a few other girls who had flown in Sunday morning. A little over 2 hours from Albany to Lake Placid on the shuttle, but we're all ch

Welcome to 2022; Fishing in Santa Cruz

Here we go, into a new year. Hopes...dreams...resolutions. We'll start with just a fun, relaxing day over the hill in Santa Cruz to start January 1. The kids did a little fishing off the pier thanks to Cesar's new fishing poles. Just a beautiful day to relax and start 2022. Plus, got to see a bunch of seals and sea lions hanging around the pier.

Lake Placid Trip: The Backstory

As the story goes, when I was 4-years-old I was mesmerized by the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, yes the Miracle on Ice hockey team, but also by the Luge. I don't know why, but every 4 years when the Winter Olympics come around, my parents always told me, "When you were little you loved to watch the luge." Fast forward nearly four decades and I see a posting for a luge clinic in Palo Alto for kids 9-13. It was called a sledder search and I thought it would be a fun experience for Ellie to go "sled" in Palo Alto, then the next time the Winter Olympics came around, she could say "I tried that." We went to Palo Alto in early September, Ellie got geared up and went down the hill on her street sled. It wasn't pretty, at least I didn't think it was. She crashed into the hay bails once, got up pretty upset -- mainly because she wasn't excellent at it right away. She left Palo Alto nearly in tears because she couldn't be great at it.
