Last Pictures of Nationals

Through several interesting turns of events that will not be shared here, we ended up eating Mexican three days in a row. Two of the three days was at La Rosa...good Mexican, but not as good as the dive Mexican we had the day in the middle.

While we were eating dinner the last night there, it stormed. We had a couple of storms while we were in Bend, but this one was particularly outstanding. The lightning shows were quite impressive.

But, the sunset was what was so breathtaking.

This is James with his friend Philip. Philip is a great bike rider - very, very fast. (And, very, very tall when standing next to James. He is older so maybe James can make up some ground on him.)

I'm not sure what it says about these kids (Melissa and Zoe join in the fun here) when they don't have sense to come in out of the rain and lightning. Oh, wait, some adult must have been out there with them taking pictures. :)

It was finally time to go home. Lucky James was upgraded with me. Five hour trips are much better in first class. Ok, everyone celebrate. We are done with pictures from Nationals.
