Swim Meet

I spent last week near Sacramento competing in a synchronized swim meet. For three days my teammates and I were at the pool from dawn to dusk.  I spent much of that time in the tent city trying not to get sunburned.
On Saturday I was able to participate in an attempt at a Guinness World Record for the largest water float pattern.  There were 286 participants who formed the pink breast cancer ribbon. Here are the aerial photos. On Sunday my team routine won the gold medal in our age group (the average age of my team members is 50).

After the meet we moved on to Yosemite for the next two days... 

before heading back to Michigan.  I really liked this crystal and wood sculpture in the Sacramento airport, I'd love a smaller version hanging over my dining room table.
