Update

So to make a huge long story short, we left Maryland on Saturday, headed to somewhere in IN, my battery went out and we were delayed 3 hrs. The next day 100 miles out from Omaha (our destination) Ben got a screw in his tire which had to be patched. Omaha and family and friends were great. We left Wed a.m. and made it to Rock Springs, WY, got up this a.m. and finished the last 3 hrs to SLC and are now here. Sunday we will take off with my father in law and make the final trip to CA. Now fow my training. I can't say I'm happy with the trip challenges but it's about what I expected. I've averaged working out every other day. Hopefully for the next 3 I will be able to do so everyday. My diet had been at times great and at others not favorable. When I had no access to the diet I needed I tried to make due, and even then it was not fantastic. I'd say it's still far healthier than your average person but only about 50-60% as clean as it should be for my training. But I knew I'd run into this a bit. On the otherhand the workouts I have had a chance to do were great workouts so I guess I have my balance. Luckily, the place we're staying has a fridge and stove so I can maybe grab some eggs and veggies to get some things cooked up. Below are a few pictures from my last posing session and workout with A & G before I headed west. I included a few other cool non-competition related pics so share some fun we've had along the way. I should have access to this until Saturday night so will try and keep up with it.

Here are some from the posing session:

Last night with Heather and Bradley who took such amazing care of Zoe and gave her a great home to be in as a "daycare" :) Love you guys!

Achilles seems to think he fits everywhere:

Omaha's Zoo...Dani pulled some strings and got us in with the giraffes and their trainer while everyone else watched through windows below. This was awesome!
