Racing In The Rain, 1994

Just prior to the William Sarroyan Road Race just outside of Fresno in April 1994.  Rain doesn't usually stop races from being conducted and she obviously was prepared to race in the rain -- she finished in 2nd place.

Red Atala Bike

This is Maura's red Atala bike.  She quickly outgrew the blue Trek and bought this Italian bike at Helen's in Westwood around 1990.  She ran into some guy at the bike path in Redondo Beach, literally and ended up bending the frame a little bit.  From there, she bought the Look KG-76 bike.  This one has toe-clips and all and a white Pista fame pump.

Ainofea, 1993

At a criterium in Santa Barbara in 1993.  She can corner on a bike.  "Ainofea" is what Hawaiians would say.

Yosemite, 1988

We went to Yosemite in the summer of 1988 to camp and do a little bit of hiking.  The next time we returned to this beautiful park is in 2005 during the winter month of February to celebrate JJ's birthday.

Inside The Cave Across Ha'ena State Beach, 2005

We went to this dry cave across from Ha'ena Beach State Park in the north shore of Kauai in July 2005.  This is the most beautiful part of Kauai just a few miles after Hanalei Bay.  This cave is about 300 yards deep but we only went about a third of the way in and it just felt really claustrophobic.

Haircut, 2004

Maura giving JJ a haircut in May 2004 (while he was focused on that Nintendo DS).  This is in the dining room in the Pasadena house.  The couch was put in the dining room when the hardwood floors were refinished in the living room at the time.

Messing With JJ, 2005

Maura messing around with JJ at a diner in Lihue, Kauai.  After swimming all morning, JJ fell asleep in the car and inside this diner as well.  Sam and I were just laughing away as Maura put the piece of french fry for JJ to smell so he wakes up.  Didn't work and he ended up sleeping through lunch.  JJ didn't believe his mom did this until we showed him the picture.
