Olympic Madness

We were lucky enough to stay in Downtown Vancouver for a couple of nights and get into the spirit of the Olympics. It was a bit crowded to see the various pavillions around Vancouver, but it was just great to be part of the action. We missed Wayne Gretzky pass by our hotel as he carried the torch to the Olympic cauldron. It was raining, and rushing down to see him was not appealing to a very pregnant mom with two young kids, although I felt bad for Ray who probably would have wanted to see Gretzy. Nonetheless, we were able to spend some family time, seeing the torch being carried through a Downtown street, visiting the Olympic countdown clock, hanging out with our best friends, trekking to the fenced Olympic cauldron, and witnessing the masses of people cheering for Canada! We may not have had any tickets to any Olympic events, but just being in Downtown Vancouver made us experience the Olympic mania!

Go Canada go!
