Son Jake is in Vancouver! About now he is attending a women's hockey match between the USA and Finland, a match that I have on TV and that the US has well in hand.

My nephew Andy couldn't let this opportunity of having the Olympics next door slip by, so he got into the ticket lottery system some time ago. Over the past months arrangements were made, a five bedroom house was booked, and now my sister, her husband, their three kids, spouses, and seven grandchildren, plus Jake, are having an Olympic experience. They drove north yesterday, got settled and were ready to hit the town.

Besides hockey, I think the girls have tickets to women's figure skating practice. I'll hear all about it when they stop by on their way home Sunday evening. In the meantime, I'm keeping up via Facebook and Jake's postings. Smart phones are so amazing.
How great is that?!!! Truly a chance of a lifetime. I will be looking forward to your posts from those who are really there. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time for all of you! Enjoy
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a wonderful experience for all of the family members who are experiencing the Olympics! Yes, I will look forward to photos as well.
ReplyDeletehow fun, I'm loving watching the olympics but my sleeping schedule is gone...
ReplyDeleteLucky!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone must be thrilled! Someone from Hawaii is attending, but said the tickets are exorbitant! Luckily, she found somebody to swap homes with. Don't know how she likes that person's apartment in Canada, nor how that person likes the townhouse in Hawaii. But, that's one way to economize, eh?
ReplyDeleteThat is exciting. I must say that they should have had the Olympics in my yard as I think I have more snow. Those poor folks having to truck in all that snow...Michelle
