Busy, busy race weekend!
Friday evening was Audrie's 9th birthday party.
|
Six 9-year old goofy, giggly girls. |
|
|
We had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. We had a reservation, but it still took forever. I think we were there about 2.5 hours.
|
All of the girls BUT Audrie stood in their chairs to dance like chickens to the birthday song.
|
It's hard to believe, but I was shy in groups when I was Audrie's age also. She is a wild woman at home. But very quiet and easily embarrassed in public. Even with her friends.
Gloria was nice enough to help me chaperone the girls.
|
What's up with my eyes? |
We stayed the night at the Embassy Suites. We had a super sweet suite. Two bedrooms, two baths, a living/kitchen area and an office. Perfect! Gloria and I locked ourselves in one room to watch a movie and sip on wine. The girls had two tv's and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy themselves.
|
They had an indoor heated pool so the girls got to swim. |
|
Gift opening pajama party. |
|
Excellent hot breakfast the next morning. The girls went back for more about ten times each. |
|
Fun had by all. |
On Saturday afternoon we hit the Rock 'n' Roll Half expo.
|
Great expo! Check out the race review for more pics and details! |
Saturday night Gloria hosted a pasta party for her husband's birthday. Since several of us were running the next day this was a fantastic idea. Sadly I did not take any pictures. Bummer. Believe me, we definitely did some carb loading.
Doug and I headed home early to get ready for race day and were in bed by 9pm!
Stay tuned for the full race report for my first Rock 'n' Roll event. I loved it!
