Whistler Olympics!!

Last week, Greg and I had the wonderful privilege of attending the Winter Olympics in Whistler. We were there for four days, and couldn't have had more fun! The excitment in the air was fabulous, and it was such a festive celebration everywhere we went. We spent one afternoon at the bobsled track, which turned out to be spectacular; we couldn't believe how fast those sleds passed us. And we were able to stand right along the track - scary! The next day we spent at the cross-country ski venue, watching the women's relay. I was delightfully surprised to find myself transported to Scandinavia for the day, since we were surrounded by flags from Norway, Sweden, and Finland at every moment. I loved it, since that is my heritage.

We had our own enjoyable vacation on another level, because we had only baby Greta with us; we left the twins in Grandma Judy's capable hands. It was sooo wonderful to spoil her rotten; we so enjoyed having time with just one baby, since we have never had that experience. She came with us everywhere, and was an ANGEL - not a peep or complaint from her at all!! We stayed at our place in Whistler, which is situated right next to the downhill ski races. So, we were able to watch the men's and women's races, right from our complex; that was an added bonus.
