The Novaes Family: Tour De CalFit

Here we are on our third stop, Elk Grove! I used to frequent this gym back in the BMX days with Richard "BigBird" Matulia! We have lifted a great deal of weight in this place and it was where I had my first Spin Class! So I have a little love for this place, let's check it out...

The pool area was HUGE y'all! Three pools and a hot tub, one of the pools was salt water and covered(4-5 ft), a lap pool and a kid friendly pool 3.5 to 5ft deep! Loads of grass, chairs and options for seating depending on how much sun you wanted! Bonus points for the cool water feature, useless of course, but cool nevertheless!

Where do we sit? So much to see and be! We ended up in a shady spot with a table and chairs! Wait, what's that I hear? Music!?!?! YES I DO! COOL!

LUNCH! Since we arrived late from the dentist appointment, we immediately had lunch to prove the old tale that one can eat and swim afterwards! Today we had turkey and cheese sandwiches and I had salmon left overs, and yes, the tale is a joke! Sharks and whales eat after they eat right?!?!

Outdoor shower...SCORE!

Menina! Shes loving the sun this summer, working on her tan!

The hot tub! We never touched it, but guessing it was...hot!

The covered outdoor pool! This was the salt water pool! There was a class going on when this shot was taken, bit after the class was over, the kids swam in this pool too!

Brady has sure taken on to swimming and water this year! He still hesitates here and there, but overall, MUCH better than previous years! Proud of my little fish!

The view from the chair! See all the grass!?!?

From Maceio to Elk Grove!

In addition to the pools, the gym also had: tennis courts, sand volleyball court, outdoor bathrooms with showers, and more chairs than a movie theater! We played ghetto tennis, a ball and no racquet, no different than back in the day when we'd go to PetSmart instead of the Zoo because we were broke!
