Hoopfest 2011...The Prequel

My computer seems to be moving extraordinarily slow this morning.  So this one photo is all you get of our trip to Spokane!  At least for now.  This is the river that runs through downtown Spokane.  Of course there are tens of thousands of people that you cannot see in this photo, that also run through downtown Spokane during Hoopfest. 

You'll just have to check back.

I need to get to work.

Headed to Washington

Hoopfest.

This weekend.

We'll be there!
