Back in the Saddle Again....

Jeff competed in his first multi-sport event Saturday morning, but "competed" is a strong word.  Let's just say he finished and it is a starting point from which to build on.

The Biathlon consisted of a 2 mile run, 12 mile bike ride, and finished with another 2 mile run.  Also doing this with Jeff, was our friend Mark Santoro. 

Jeff didn't capture any of his splits and the official times haven't been released.  But for now...we think he completed the 16 miles in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  It wasn't too fast...but he is definitely feeling the pain :-)

Our Second Wedding Anniversary!!

Well, anyone who reads this knows we went to Rocky Point, Mexico for our Second wedding anniversary last week.  The trip started off with us heading to Phoenix to see Journey in concert.  It was a great show and Journey played all of their hits.  We had good seats and just like our previous Journey concert, the crowd got really into it.
The funny thing about Journey, was that they have a new lead singer, Arenel Pineda, who sounds just like the original lead singer, Steve Perry (see the comparison of Steve Perry singing "Faithfully" and Arnel Pineda singing "Faithfully").  It just made the concert even better!
On Saturday, we traveled to the Organ Pipe National Monument to spend the night at the campground.  We were trying out our new 8 person tent which gave us plenty of room to place our inflatable mattress (no reason to be uncomfortable!!).  We had an amazing site surrounded by Autumn's three favorite things (in no particular order...Jeff, Saguaro cacti, and Organ Pipe cacti).  We were able to grill some pre-marinated steaks we bought at the commissary and then on Sunday AM we took a bike ride through the park.  After that, we cleaned up and headed to Rocky Point.
We spend Sunday through Thursday at our usual resort, The Sonoran Sea Resort.  The weather was great and we enjoyed our Anniversary at the Lighthouse Restaurant we normally go to.  It always has a great view of the sunset...although we got there a little late this time.
Anyways, that was about it.  We will publish some pictures later...although we only took a few from our dinner.  Take Care!!
