Get ReAL

A few weeks back I went to my first MLS game at Rio Tinto Stadium. ReAL Salt Lake scored within the first 2 minutes and didn't look back during their game with the LA Galaxy. I learned that soccer fans are nuts some in a good way and others not so much. I would love to see an NBA game where streamers are thrown on the court, it would make things a little more interesting. It was still fun and I would go to another game but I think I would wait until it is a little warmer and not raining. I guess I am a fair weather fan! The good news is the ReAL extended their home winning streak by beating the Galaxy 4-1. GOOOOOOOAL!

Long Beach

Last month I went to sunny Southern California with some of my family and visit some family that lives there. The only problem was that the sun decided that it would rather not make an appearance so it turned out to be a visit to cloudy, rainy Southern California. While the lack of sun subdued the trip a little it was still a lot of fun and just nice to get away for a few days. Below are some pictures of lovely Long Beach.

Now This is a Monday

Since it was a bank holiday today (thanks Columbus), I thought why not get out and enjoy some nature. Above are a few of the many great sights on the Broad Forks Trail in Big Cottonwood. The temperature was perfect in the upper 50's and slightly overcast (this did mean rain on the way down), we even saw a little snow! Not a bad way to spend a Monday.
