This weekend the AVP came to Chicago. Jody's been looking forward to this for a long time and it didn't disappoint.
We actually go down to the beach for this tournament every year when the pros come to town, but this year was extra cool because it's an Olympic year. We got to watch all four of the beach volleyball teams representing the U.S., and they were awesome. Jody even got to meet a bunch of them!
I actually like watching volleyball. They're really amazing athletes, the games are fast-paced enough to keep me interested, and Jody's enthusiasm is pretty contagious. Plus, it's always fun to enjoy gorgeous weather down at the beach. One of the most fun parts of the weekend for me, though, was seeing Jody play volleyball. He plays about three times a week, but I rarely go watch him. So when he did some King of the Court contest this weekend, I got to see him in action--and he's good...really good. No shock there. Jody's pretty much a natural at every sport. Anyway, I was the embarassing wife on the sidelines snapping pictures of him while he played. I tried to get some good action shots, but you'll see that there is a reason I stuck with writing rather than photo journalism!
For more details about the AVP, Jody says he's actually going to do an inaugural blog about the weekend. Stay tuned.
