And They're Off!

Seems like a fitting title for a post on what is opening day at Del Mar Race Track (I can hear Gam Man singing to me as I type).
We, the Fortune Four, had a vacation kick off dinner at Terra last night which of course included the, "you are four years older than the last time we did a trip like this and therefore, we expect you to" talk...
*Be flexible,
*Be adventurous and open to new things AND foods
*Be patient and responsible
We lost them early on but what the hell, we said our peace.
Jana, always ready with a question offered this one - What are you most looking forward to on our trip?
Shelby: Seeing Women's soccer
Sydney: All the cities & Olympic venues we'll see and not sitting next to Shelby on the plane.
Jana: Hiking in Switzerland, Bike tour in Paris and Olympic events
Scott: Seeing London and staying in the Swiss Alps
After dinner, last Target run for Jana - lots of rain forecasted so heavy duty rain ponchos a must! Typed up directions to navigate our house for The Casserleys and made some chocolate cookies to welcome them.
Uncle Todd delivered us to the airport and the adventure begins!




Here's hoping we make all connections in tact, speaking to one another and with all our luggage! Stay tuned...
*Please note, the small in nature size of our suitcases and that Scott's is the biggest. Partly because we don't own another small one and also He is carrying ponchos, hiking boots and other extras for the. Not too shabby for packing for but for mine and the girls part we did a good job meeting Scott's challenge of packing for 3+ weeks in a carry on.
