First Pilates Experience

We were greeted warmly by Ms. Tamera Pauli, founder of One Body One Soul, as we arrived in her studio early Saturday morning. To start off, she gave us each a glass of Mimosa to give that relaxed and "in the moooooood" feeling.






This was the whole Pilates class, led by Lorraine (frontmost in white), doing the "Mermaid Pose."



Iynigo found himself a new set of toys to play with!

Before leaving, we saw familiar faces from Yoga class, composed of Newshounds, RB Addicts, and Tails of Joey and Daisy. They looked so refreshed and energized and more than ready to hit the mat! Hmm.. I'd better make me one of those Mimosas at home.



Rendezvous with the Newshounds


Tre Bicchieri was the downtown place chosen by the two teams to meet. Being able to dine in this place for the first time, we were quite excited. You can't hide that fact from our captain who was eager to find out what's on the menu.






With the man who runs Tre Bicchieri, Ike Declue, who also happens to be Kelsey's boyfriend.




PAIGE

Loves Pesto (Yummm... who doesn't!!??)

Has an adventurous side to her. In fact, she just went white water rafting while vacationing in South Carolina.





KELSEY

Loves her job in the Republic and waits part time at Tre Bicchieri

May seem like a city girl but really likes it here in Columbus where it is less crazy





We had a nice time and overall, the food was great! Before we left, all of us took one last pose below this sign which says " Enter As Strangers .... Leave as Friends." Pretty nice, huh.
