USA Olympic Trials

Here are some scrapbook pictures from our trip to Sacramento. First of all, I'm in a couple of REALLY tough courses this summer (Reporting and Marketing). My Florida teammates left for Sacramento the Wednesday before the Trials started, but I couldn't miss class! I flew to San Luis Obispo after class on Tuesday, arriving at 1 a.m.! My family drove to Sacramento on Wednesday, and I competed Thursday and Friday. We drove back Saturday, and I left SLO-Town Sunday night. Whew!

My Dad has a lot of faith in me, but he didn't even make reservations for the second day in our hotel, the Sheraton Grand downtown, until I officially made the finals! Well, the hotel is kind of pricey.

The Elephant Bar is one of our favorite
places to go! In fact it is definitely a must
stop for my sister Karla who enjoys all
the pictures of animals that decorate the
place!
 
Tony's Deli is located near the Sheraton Grand! Here is Tony taking a well deserved rest!
He serves great food and the whole staff wished me luck!
I normally don't do this, but we were all so excited about my coming in sixth in the prelims that we celebrated with an Elephant Bar dessert! Karla and I enjoyed a treat at Tony's.
The food at the Elephant Bar was delicious! Tony's makes a great deli sandwich!
 
Trying to focus between throws! Karla loves to leave her art work at places where she likes the food or the people! Tony wanted something on his stationary for himself!
Tony was very kind.

Here are the first day results!
