THE OLYMPICS 2010

Some highlights from our trip to Vancouver - awesome trip, once-in-a-lifetime experience, surreal....

The Olympic Mascots - pretty cute little creatures


At the Pacific Coliseum for Women's Figure Skating


It was so awesome to see the Women's Short Program - we were there for 4 hours. The skaters perform in groups of five. After the two groups of skaters skate, they "zamboni" the ice, then the next groups of skaters gets 6 minutes to warm up, then each person from that group performs. It was cool to see all the "behind-the-scenes" stuff. I've been watching Ice Skating since forever, so seeing it in person was totally rad!!
