Critical Mass

We LOVE bicycles!! Every last Friday of the month all kinds of cyclists meet at Balboa Park and ride all over.  The count I heard during the ride was 1070 riders!  Super crazy experience.  Owen has gone a few months in a row and has always wanted me to go so I finally told myself that you can do a big bike ride.  I am so glad I went.  I loved it.  We start at the park and just take over the road.  I love the the cyclist has the power and not the car.  So many intersections are blocked and cyclists will block the car from moving until the whole group has passed.  Some people are cool and others try to wiggle through.  Lots of hooking horns and filkering bicycle lights. This guy riding to my right was ran into and almost took my down with him.  Praying to be safe works! Such a great way to see the city.  I want to ride my bike more. And that makes Owen happy.  I am planning on pimping my bike out a bit!  I will post another photo.   This is my sweet bike.  She is my pal and loves to go fast down hills!  Who knew 10 speeds made a come back.  We have an obsession with bikes of all kinds.  I love riding my street bike.

We are getting so excited to leave on a jet plane.  We both jet time off to go up yo Washington.  Owen has made a tradition. Every other 4th of July we go to see his parents and visit old friends.  The in-laws live really close to the beach.   
This is where we are going!  Out on the Indian reservation all the Indians sell fire works for a month before the 4th.  So on the 4th is looks and sounds like we are in a war zone.  But talk about fun!!!
This is Owen's house.  He grew up here.  I love this place and the stone walkway was done by his mom.  Everywhere she went she would bring a rock home.  Look at her garden to the left.  She is the gardening Queen!  Owen woke up today and said, "it's only Wednesday."  We are sad the Jess and her family aren't coming;( And Olea and Adam...  We know you guys have new jobs and all that but we still hoped they would make it some how.

Jason Is my new buddy.   We keep the salon running smooth!  Plus anytime I have a makeup question he has my answer.
Jen- Super sweet and so much fun to work with.  We have each others backs.
Andrew - Super good lookin' and has really cool style.

These are a few of my coworkers.  I am so lucky to work with such an awesome group of people.  It really makes a big difference in my day.

I love our new yard as I sure you all have figured out.  My plants and cactus love it too.  Look at how many blooms are on this on cactus.  It gets these furry pods and then they grow into this long finger like flowers.  They only last a day or two so this is pretty cool.
