Viva Las Vegas and Grand Canyon

The Weavers and the Smiths journeyed to Las Vegas, NV and the Grand Canyon for my 30th birthday and the Kyle and Kimberly's wedding anniversary.  We stayed at the Luxor in Las Vegas and took a day trip the the Grand Canyon.  Ryan has been to Las Vegas, but this was his first time seeing the Grand Canyon.  It was absolutely beautiful.  We had a wonderful time.  We were completely exhausted when we returned, but it was worth it!

Got-em-on Tourny

We fished our first tournament of the year in Takin' Chances this past weekend in Wilmington. We started out at 4 am and came in around 5pm. It was a long day. This is a King Mackeral Tournament that Ryan and Russell fish every year they can. This year the team consisted of Me, Ryan, Russell, and Greg. With anti-seasickness meds on board, I was ready.

There were moderately rough seas that a.m. as we headed out to our first fishing spot. We had a few get off and caught some small kings. We moved on to other spots throughout the day and ended up keeping one small king, two Mahi, and one spanish. It was a long and tiresome day, and unfortunately we were unable to way in "the big one".

Greg and I tested out the bean bags and they were great for catching naps in the sun. Despite the meds, Greg and I didn't feel so good during the trip. We were happy to come in and announced that this was probably our last tournament. :( There were lots of laughs and stories afterwards. Thank you to Ryan and Russell for all the hard work during the tournament and Greg and I slept off our meds.
