This past weekend we went camping at Pio Pico with both sets of grandparents and we went to the Olympic Training Center for a tour.
I didn't even know it was there in Chula Vista but Jeff found it and we were able to go for a guided tour.
Here is Ashley posing in front of the BMX track that the public can use for practices and races.
Posing on the podium...we were hoping they had a swimming pool but apparently they ran out of money and couldn't end up building it. If any of you have an extra $10 million lying around, they can build an outdoor Olympic pool!
She wanted to take a picture next to Michael Phelps...

Here is the winged runner. There are only 6 in the world...Sea World donated this one.
Discus practice
It was really fun and interesting. Plus I found out there are 3 Olympic training centers in the U.S. located in: Colorado Springs, CO; Chula Visa, CA; and Lake Placid, NY. I've now been to the first 2 centers and hope to one day make it to the 3rd.
