Enjoying first trip to CA (Irvine)

[madkaw]

But I haven't seen one Z yet:(

I thought this was where they were hiding!

It is freaking hot out here. No wonder you CA boys are adamit about getting AC. Freeways are crazy as well as the drivers -

I think I will stay in indiana , but definitely liking the visit.

My boy is swimming Jr. Nationals in Irvine.

Oh - we also had our first run in with the CHIPS! Boys jumped in the car after the meet and we went a block and the CHIP pulled us over for no seat belts in the back. Welcome to CA

Steve, so are you staying long enough to drop in at ZCON down in COOL San Diego this week? Get out of Irvine man!

ZCON is reason you're not seeing any Z's. They are all getting primped up (or tuned up) so they can go on a date in SD later in the week.

My son wants to stay for nationals - which is next week. I don't have that kind of vacation left. I'm aware of Zcon which is killing me. One week sooner would have been perfection

Police on motorbikes pulling people over for not wearing a seat belt? What am I missing?

Glad your son is a great swimmer!

We were suprised by the police . I think they were watching us from leaving the event. In indiana the police can't pull you over for rear passenger violation- but you can be ticketed for it if there was another reason for being pulled over.

It s a 22$ fine per kid since they are all over 16. But if they were little kids-430$
