What a week. Honestly I haven’t been looking at anything online this week, my attention has been entirely focused on the Olympics. My family and I headed up to Vancouver this week and got to see the USA vs. Norway Mens Hockey game on Thursday. We won 6-1! I can’t honestly describe how cool it was to be part of it. It definitely stirs the emotions. Then we got to see that nights Victory Ceremony where they awarded medals so we got to see Shaun White and Shani Davis get their gold medals. Also very cool. Vancouver has done a great job hosting this Olympics with a few minor hiccups. My only issue was with the crowds. I don’t do well with them, and as you might guess there are a few people in Vancouver so you wait for everything. It was definitely worth it and if you ever have the means I can’t recommend it enough.

It was a very long day and we had our moments. Hopefully we won’t remember the temper tantrums :-).
Oh so jealous of your olympics experience. I was so sad when Chicago was denied the olympics, since I live in the burbs of chi-town. I was all ready to go check out all the random events that do not get on TV. Just to soak up the experience. Or rent out my house for some CASH and head out of town. either way, happy!
Thanks for the great links!
