We can now officially check "Winter Olympics" off of our bucket list!! On Feb. 27th we attended the Men's Bronze Medal Curling event at the Olympics in Vancouver. We all agreed that this day turned out to be one of the most amazing days of memory!!! The curling event started at 9am, so we left our house in seattle at 4:45am. We had no problems crossing the border (a 2 minute wait if that). We parked a bit outside the city at a Park and Ride and rode their new Canada Line metro system all day...we made it to our event with plenty of time to spare and enjoyed the day at a nice pace. It couldn't have been easier. The curling event was awesome. It came down to the last curl (I hope I am saying that right) with Switzerland beating out Sweden. The crowd went wild. I had my new camera with me and figured out the video feature just in time for the ending...you can see it below. After the event we spent the day downtown walking around, people watching, shopping, eating, and visiting the Cauldron. We left around 10pm after dinner in Yale town and since Dan drove us up, I drove us back and we got home around 1am (again with no border problems). It was such a fun day that I wish we could do it all over again!! Maybe next time we can cross Summer Olympics off the bucket list...you never know with the Rossis!!
It was a rainy day
