PMC 2014

by Papa K on August 4, 2014

This weekend Maile and I traveled to Boston so she could visit Grandma and Papa and I could ride in my 4th Pan-Mass Challenge.

The ride this year was pretty incredible. Saturday was some of the worst weather they have ever seen on the ride. Cold, hard rain for most of it. A decent number of crashes and 30+ people treated for hypothermia! Luckily, myself and the rest of my friends I ride with made it through just fine.

On the flip side, Sunday was a tremendous day of riding. Temperature was perfect and we easily had our best second day finishing in record time. As always, lots of good memories were made and it was honor to ride along side Ryan, Rob, Teddy, Adam, Tony and Drew.

On Sunday, we took a ferry back from Provincetown to Boston and Grandma, Papa and Maile came into the city to meet me.

Hey, dude, do you know where I can find my daddy's bike?

You know that old Warrant song – “I don’t need to be the kind of the world / As long as I’m the hero to this little girl”?

Exactly.

Maile & Lauren’s Excellent DC Adventure, Part 1: Business at The White House

by Papa K on April 7, 2013

On Thursday, we flew to Washington, DC to visit Auntie Elyssa and our good friends Ryan and Diana. We’re here for a week and have lots of fun planned – but first, we had some business to attend to. Unfortunately, due to the sequestration, White House tours have been canceled. Uncle Ryan works in the Eisenhower Old Executive Office Building and he decided he needed to have a “meeting” with Maile – perhaps due to her budding knowledge of China. We, of course, obliged … and once Maile took care of her business, decided to snap a few pictures as we went along…

On the way out, we stopped in front of the West Wing for a picture. I could lie and say that Maile was just intently focused behind us because Obama walked by - but really she was just tired of taking photos ;)
