We began our journey with a Baltimore to Seattle flight. Night one we stayed with Pete and Heather, Lena and Charlie. The three hour time differential was easily absorbed by all the excitement and sleeplessness of our adventure's start. The next morning, we packed up our rental Jeep and drove about 6 hours north, across the border, into Vancouver and finally ending in Whistler. We stayed right in the main Village where all the ceremonies, concerts and bustle occurred. It was like being in a movie! Very cool thing I must point out - chillin' at the playground one rainy morning, I lost one of my Olympic pins (these things are quite the commodity - I am guessing if you Googled Olympic pins it might tell you more). A tall blonde woman with fantastically bright pants and legs that went on forever glided over to me. Here, she said, you can have one of mine. In chit-chatting with her, we learned that she was in the 1998 Games in Japan for Ski Arials. "Did you win anything?" Pete asked. She said, "Yes. I won." Nikki Stone, baby! Google her.
The whole experience was incredibly EXCITING - and sleepless and all around, energizing - and deflating afterward. Memories we will all carry with us for a lifetime.
All the Pictures.
