We had a great day at the Red Bull Air Race event today.

It is a world event and its last race was held in Perth! (i know - i cant believe it either... seems people are learning that we live in the best city in the world )

Here are some photos.

Here we are arriving (it took forever to find a parking spot - quiet stressful)...


Pre-race entertainment...


More pre-race entertainment...


One of the planes in the race flying through the pontoons...


The trip home (unfortunately lots of traffic jams but Codi was a star, very very patient). Here is Codi in the car with his favourtite toy Bobby Car sitting next to him (travels where ever he goes at the moment)...

The vast majority of reported advice has been reported correct
If you are thinking of reporting advice only report it for the following reasons...

1. Rude
2. Not parenting advice (or not an opinion)
3. Spam
4. Copyright infringment

Note: if bad advice - just vote it down.

I just noticed that the top ranked advice is a new one written by Tracey.
Here it is.
If you haven't read it yet, it is definitely worth a read!

Here are 2 photos of when we were in Sydney a couple years ago. My sisters partner was the navigator of Seriously Ten, a 60 foot racing yacht that races in the Sydney to hobart and other majar races.

These photos are of a day when we went out and the crew were just starting to know each other.

Here is a great photo of Codi watching our Australian Rules Football team (the Fremantle Dockers) playing in the Preliminary Final last year. Unfortunately they were beaten, if they had won thy would have been playing in their first ever Grand Final.
Notice him wearing the Dockers jumper

I was at the Web 2.0 Summit over the last few days in San Francisco.
It was the best conference I have ever been to, the quality of speakers was amazing.
I enjoyed bumping into everyone I met.
You will see more online more next week
Now for the 24 hr treck back to Perth

With the Melbourne Cup coming up I though I should posta photo when Rach and I went in 2003 I think it was.

Note: This is a picture of me taking the shot of us both - hence the angle of my head - and the result of me looking a little arogant!

Not sure if anyone noticed, but there has been a subtle design change.
It is far more apparent if you have a wide screen
