It was a long Memorial Day weekend, Harmony & I packed every waking minute. Originally I was disappointed about not getting in on the race in Walla Walla but the trip to Oregon worked out great.
We left Friday afternoon for Salem to stay the night with Lonnie. It had been awhile since we saw him & he recently got a puppy. Every second we were there it was a dog-a-palooza. I’ll let the pictures speak for them selfs. 
Saturday Morning we headed to Eugene to meet up with Harmony’s parents & Grandpa for the day. After breakfast we went to a dog park that was right next to Autzen Stadium. Both the park & the stadium were amazing. For starters the dog park was grass, in Seattle they get so much use their all mud or wood chips. Autzen Stadium was also very impressive, it makes Husky Stadium in Seattle look like even more of a dump than it is. Imola & Monza loved the dog park & totally wore them selfs out in the sun.
Next we ended up at the lake where the triathlon was being held. I wanted to spend a little time in the water to get used to the temperature, it ended up to be totally comfortable. There was also some extra entertainment at the lake. This entertainment was a combination of a bicycle, ramp, testosterone, beer & a camera. From the initial looks of the ramp we thought there would be carnage, a few back flips later we headed out. It was nice to spend the day with Harmony’s family & the weather was beautiful.
For dinner went to a place that I’ve heard about for close to two years now…The Pizza Research Institute. It lived up to is billing of the most hippy, vegan pie on earth. Anet & Bek met us there to catch up since we saw them last about six months ago.
Sunday morning was the race, I’ll cover that in its own post.
Monday morning we hit the road back to Seattle. I was a little sore & blistered while Monza was sporting a hell of a rash from some poison oak or stinging nettles.
