Weekend ended on a fun note

Saturday was pretty dull - trekked the kids around, took the dog to the vet to get shots, and the way things were scheduled I didn't have a good stretch of time in which to work out, do grocery shopping, or anything of substance. It was just kind of a blah day. We had pizza for dinner and Amanda had a friend over, then I took her home.

On Sunday we went snowboarding and it was GORGEOUS!! It was about 35-40 degrees and sunny, and the snow was perfect. It wasn't too crowded, because now we're getting into late season. The kids and I took three runs together, then I knew they were itching to go off and do woods trails so I told them to go have fun. I took another 5-6 runs by myself and it was great - I was able to concentrate on my form, focus, and have fun. I really did improve that day, and I had a lot of fun. It was just so great to be outside in that wonderful weather, flying down the mountain, feeling the sun on my face and just having a blast. I only fell a few times but they weren't hard falls. I'm getting better. :) I wasn't even tired when we left - I could have kept going, which tells me that I was doing better and not having to work as hard at it, even though I was doing a harder trail. Cool.

Last night we watched the Hall of Fame inductions - Bruce and U2 are two of my all-time favorites. They were so cool together! I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch. Even Mike enjoyed the show - I think we have a new U2 fan.

I wish I had seen that HoF show. I love both groups. I actually met U2 in 1979 and have pictures of them from backstage. Of course, no one had ever heard of them back then!

You might be able to catch a rerun. It really was worth staying up for. I saw them in concert at the Boston Garden when I was in high school. Just awesome.
