It's Been A While (Again)

Hi all, looks like it's time to get off my 'duff' and tell you what we've been up to.
First off, I took some time off from work March 17th to the 21st which was also around spring break for Katrina. We spent some time driving go-karts again. As luck would have it, a couple of Katrina's friends showed up and the taunting began.

I decided I had to jump in a go-kart and try to out-drive the teenagers.

We kept on racing into the night (about 9:00 PM).

For the last race of the night, Katrina drove hard and eventually passed both of her friends on the racetrack. Just as she was 1/2 a lap away from the end, the track attendant decided to use the radio control to slow her car down because he thought she was driving too rough (just showing off her NASCAR skills, that's all). Unfortunately, when he hit the Slow button, her car not only began to slow down but it shut off completely! The attendants had to run out to the back section of the track and work on the car to get it re-started. After having to wait about 5 minutes for the car to restart, you can see she wasn't happy at all coming into the pits in last place.

We also tried a little more photography. Oohhh, pretty train bridge... (Es Lindo!)

We also went to the Rennaisance Festival. Katrina and her friend Melissa decided to go in costume, like many of the people there.

We also paid for the sailboat in full and picked up the trailer this past weekend. Right now, we are rebuilding the trailer with new equipment and hardware so we can haul the sailboat out of the sea next weekend (not tomorrow) and take her home. It is going to take some time to haul her out because we are going to perform a de-naming ceremony and adjust everything on the trailer to properly fit it to the bottom of the boat. We are still searching for a new name for the sailboat, so we are open to any suggestions, even the Dutch ones...
