OIB eating camp

so a bunch of us went down to the beach house this weekend. seemed all talk centered around food. shocker. but it was nice to spend three days relaxing, laughing, and of course training. here are some high-lights and no doubt low lights...


yes there was a photo without tassies butt, this one is much more fun.


alysia and i had done all the grocery shopping since we were there first (jimmy's answer (her husband) when we asked him about coming with was : NOPE i'm going to the beach. ha!) anyway shopping was good. but mainly consisted of "hmmm i like (pringles, star crunch, skinny dip, swiss cheese) so lets get that". we also put on the holly homemaker hats and made dinner on friday night.


we headed out early on saturday to ride. changeover traffic is a b*tch if you wait too long. found some great FLAT country roads and man can these guys roll. 50 miles flew by. no real issues on the ride, except a loose dog...


at one point during the ride someone pointed out "wow look at all of our cervelo bikes! we could be TEAM CERVELO!!"


or not. team scott represent!


a great day at the beach. some attempts at body surfing, some lovely beverages, and a few conversations on topics of epic importance.


bobby was nominated to cook dinner. (cue Tim the Tool man Taylor and his "man" grunts).

YUM.


the child prodigy lives on. though unwilling to self proclaim as a NERD ("there's a difference!") perhaps the dork category is still open.. :) (yes i make fun of smart people. people who have conversations about things i have no idea about. its just easier that way).


some played poker. the legend of Jimmy Rivers was born that night. he took all the money.

NOTE- we also played SCENE it. you might remember this game from a while ago.. there are questions about movie clips on a DVD... due to pending litigation i'm unable to comment much on the game. the surveillance video is still under investigation and being analyzed for fraud. an actual winner has yet to be determined.


it stormed most of sunday morning so once the clouds started to break we headed to the beach for a swim. if you look closely you can see how thrilled we all are. woo woo. swimming.


the water was soooooo (oooooooo) much more choppy that it looked. we swam down to the pier (about a mile with the current) then turned around and immediately got walloped in the face with water. wow.


a great weekend. and one that pretty much tired us all out. here's smokey on the way home smushed up between the golf clubs and my bike.

Don't you just hate that when the water looks soooo calm but it's major chop instead? And you try to tell people just standing there looking at it that "seriously, it really is choppy" and they're like "whatever". HA!!

Glad you had a great weekend!
