A weekend of firsts: cycling, kubbing and golfing, oh my!

We had such a fabulous weekend with friends, and will post lots of pics to show some of our time. I love when random things work out and fire on all cylinders; we were mixing Navy, college and California friends, and the chemistry was great. Friday night we had three friends over for a meal and Settlers. At 5:45 am Saturday, Justin came over to pick up Los and Carl. The 3 of them cycled the beautiful Chuckanut Ridge Loop by our house, something like 36 miles, Los' first time ever riding that far. He wants to do a Half-Ironman this summer (swim:1.2 miles, bike:56 miles, run: 13.1 miles) and the running/swimming are a piece of cake to him. Cycling is the hardest part for him, but Carl (who has cycled across the country) was merciful and he and Justin would slow down and wait for Los periodically.

Saturday afternoon we played Kubb and then went to see the tulip and daffodil fields en route to the best Farmer's Market ever, Snow Goose Produce, where the world's best ice cream is served. Sunday Los and I woke up early and drove to Redmond where he played in the annual Pi Kappa Phi golf tournament, his first time ever shooting 18 holes. Luckily Bish knew what he was doing, and carried their team of 4. The low score was 11 under par and 120 people came out for the tourney. Burly and I walked on the equestrian trails around the golf course, and saw them a few times throughout the day. The miles of trails are beautiful and we saw ten horses/riders during our hour+ walk. We all collapsed from exhaustion Sunday afternoon, but had such a good time this weekend.
