Well, I'm glad I knew coming into this weekend that California was going to be cold. What a bummer. It was cold, it was windy and it was RAINY! The day I arrived was pretty nice and the site where the tennis tournament was setup was gorgeous. The event was at the La Jolla Shores Beach & Tennis Club right on the ocean. The court was surrounded by palm trees and just looked fantastic.
The day of the first matches, Saturday, was sunny but windy and cool. Unfortunately, Lindsey Davenport lost her first match but Ashley Harkleroad won hers. That left day one in a split and unpromising weather for Sunday. As luck would have it, Sunday was AWFUL!!!!
I woke up to POURING rain and dark clouds. The winds got up to about 45mph. It was crazy miserable. I spent the day doing some work, reading, watching a few movies and napping since there was nothing else to do around the hotel area. The only good thing was that everyone was able to watch the SuperBowl with no delay.
Today I'm headed home and the weather is really nice again. Go figure! The sun is out but it's still cool and windy. Oh well, the teams are playing. Lindsey won her match so the USA is up 2-1 over Germany. The second match hasn't started but if Ashley plays like she did Saturday, I think she'll do well.
When I get home I'll post a picture of the sunset I took on Saturday night from the beach of our hotel.
Until then, I'm leaving on a jet plane...don't know when I'll be back again...
