Olympic Trials

I know these are all pretty much boring pool pictures - but just think that not too long ago, NCAA basketball was being held in this same place. They built TWO pools in the arena - each took 12 days to put up. Very cool place.



Doesn't really capture the whole effect, but this is during finals - all these crazy lights and a waterfall and music.

BIRTHDAY!

Today is Chris' 26th birthday and it just so happened to be AMAZINGLY gorgeous outside (probably to make up for the Nor'easter from last year). We went to DC to see the cherry blossom trees - highly recommend this to everybody. We've decided to make it an annual tradition from now on. The 75 degree temp, no clouds in the sky, and no humidity probably helped. Also visited the WWII Memorial, which we had never seen before ... it was pretty amazing. Ended the day with dinner at Lemongrass (in Baltimore), a long walk around the harbor, ice cream at Haagen-Dazs, and a new episode of "The Office." Perfect birthday.

Happy New Year!

Some of our pics from New Year's Eve. And YES we did see a dead body, about 3 feet away, around 12:10am. That's an awesome way to start off 2008 ....... love Hampden .....
