Embassy Ball 2006
A long drive through the oh-so scenic, flatline landscape of the southwest yielded a much awaited vacation at the beach and sunny, clean Irvine. For four days at the Hyatt, we enjoyed a wonderful array of entertainment from the nighttime professional and amateur competitions and a great, competitive environment inspiring us to get back to practicing!

Kat with Brian WATSON! (#1 in the world). Kat's claim to fame is that
she jogged next to Brian on the tredmill for 30 minutes. When given the opportunity to ask the world champion a question, Kat chose, "How much do you work out?" - Sigh.
