Luge it or Lose it! The New Mexico Chili fest...

So, this past weekend I was able to attend the infamous Redondo Beach Chili Fest, at Sarah Straton's house :)! Greg, her fabulous hubby, is from New Mexico and has those fabulous chili's shipped west every year for this event. CAN WE SAY YUMMO!! And not only did we get our grub on, but we got to partake in the Luge events. Freaking classic! Yes, I am newbie at the luge! And I must say, whoever invented the ice luge...PROPS TO THEM! And, for the highlight on the luge that night we had someone do the green chili, vodka, jello shot luge...YUCK, but funny!! And let's just the company did not suck!! Hahaha...From my fabulous HS friend, Michelle to the AVP'ers Marcia, Fitz, & Dave, to the Players (Sarah, Barb, The Holdren's, The Nygaard's) and everyone else who rocked (who doesn't adore the Wachtfogel's)!!













The Kid's Jumpy thing...yep we were in there!!

AVP SF...the end...hehe

So, as the 2007 season was ending I was getting ready to move on to the next chapter of my life...SCARY RIGHT? For me change is scary, but sometimes needed. The San Fran weekend was a great weekend to end things with the AVP...there was good, bad, beautiful, and crazy all rolled into one!!

The nice thing about San Fran (like Chi and NYC) is that it is a walking city. We were lucky to stay in the Hilton Fisherman's Wharf, near Pier 39 and Ghiradelli!! YUMMO!! Hahaha! The view to Alcatraz, aka the Rock, and the Golden Gate were breathtaking too!! But let's get to the site....FREAKING GORGEOUS!!! We were located on Pier 30/32, practically under the bay bridge, on the bay. And the weather was amazing too!! Did I mention that we had the first sold out event of the 2007 season on Sunday too??! WOOHOO! Nice right?!
