Jen texted us directions to where to meet them. Since Seattle traffic makes Phoenix traffic look mild we left a big time buffer and managed to arrive early. We were sure we were waiting at Cal and Jen's yacht but as the meeting time approached there was no sign of them.
Then we spotted this sporty little thing and decided we must be in the wrong spot. So we waited here and still no sign of them.
Then our hosts arrived in a boat designed for SURFING! Never heard of such a thing on a lake.
Of course we had to go past the Brooks RUN HAPPY sign.
And what is a relaxing day on the boat without a little refreshment?
Lunch was at the Yacht Club. Cal gave us a little history of the Club which indicated that women haven't always been welcome in all areas of the Club. The Women's Group bulletin board sort of backs that up.
Time for some surfing fun! After an explanation of how this whole thing works, Cal showed that he can not only surf, but can multi-task while doing so.
Jen was as impressive on the surfboard as she is on the weight bench.
Really fun to watch but they couldn't entice either of us into the water in spite of Jen repeatedly saying that the water was VERY warm for this time of year.
Cal was happy to show us some of the exercises that their trainer has introduced just in case we would like to try them with all of you.
Part of the tour included checking out their fitness facility. It is a beautiful location on the water and when weather permits the spin and bootcamp classes are outside.
We liked their workout motto!
True to Seattle, the weather started out a little overcast, the sun came out for part of the afternoon, and then the clouds rolled in with a little rain for the ride back to dinner. BRRRR! But nothing a beach towel and a little warm air won't fix.
Since Katie has posted the other blogs she probably left out a few "Katieisms". So I will leave you with something to make you smile. What is scarier than a snake, Bigfoot, and a bump in the night? A metal fish on the sidewalk in Seattle! Katie jumped 3 feet in the air and squealed when the killer fish nearly bit her foot off.
Nice..keep up the good work , hope your now in my reading list- Cal was happy to show us some of the exercises that their trainer has introduced just in case we would like to try them with all of you.
