Seeing as Nationals are fast approaching (eek!), I thought I'd post this now to give time for debate, planning, and change to make sure we can see some action. ;)
Here's what I was thinking:
There's a Red Robin (though there are plenty of other choices also) fairly close to the pool (by the mall...about 5 milesish..maybe). I would LOVE to meet everybody from these forums so I was thinking Friday or Saturday night we should have a little dinner and drinks soiree. The formally organized USMS social is Saturday night.
So...that's my thought. Let's hash out some details and make it happen!!
:drink: :groovy: :woot:
Aren't we? :banana: :banana: :banana:
Yeah don't shatter my British childhood illusions...
Now without looking it up...in which counties are the Washington's in CT and in the UK.
Fort you know you want to go!!! C'mon...everybody's doin' it. ;)
Beth you should go too! I'm probably not going to make qual times in all my events, so we can be slow and out of shape together. :wiggle:
People most definatley don't know about Western states. When I was in San Antonio and told people I was from Idaho, I had several people ask me if that was by Indiana. But then I mentioned potatoes and Napolean Dynamite and they all new what I was talking about. :dunno:
There are sheep in Washington Muppet, so you should definately come to Nationals. My old house in Lake Stevens was by a farm that raised sheep. Had a big white farmhouse on a hill and a bunch of white and black fluff balls grazing on the hillside. Very picturesque.
The biggest allergies I can think of for western Washington are going to be things like pollution and mold. Probably some plant ones too considering how green it is. I dont' have allergies so I can't tell you if it's bad or not, but my mom has them and she doesn't seem to have them are bad as she used to when we lived in Idaho.
Oh! Speaking of counters....someone want to count for me Thursday night for the 1000?
And I agree with Poolraat (and Nike) JUST DO IT! :groovy:
Wow Fort, You don't look a day over 16 in that photo....LOL!!:thhbbb:
But seriously, You have some real lovely daughters there fort....You must be a real knockout to produce such high quality offspring. Is the older one as fearless as the younger one though?...LOL!

p.s. Regardless of who goes to Federal Way this Spring, We are ALL going to Austin right Fort?!!.....I already know FlyQueen and Seagurl will be there....like I said in any earlier posting somewhere, Those 2 girls will be all over Austin like it was crack cocaine...LOL!!:rofl:
Mold?!?! I can't go if there's mold, Kyra. Arggghhh. That's the worst. I'm just going to have to give up on breathing I think.
I could be wrong. I'm just guessing since it's so wet. Most mold would probably be in wood as in like houses and stuff anyway, so being a hotel and pool you'll probably be able to avoid it. If you go to downtown Seattle you might run into some around the waterfront and Pikes, but you can get away from it really easily.
Don't let a little thing like breathing get in your way!
Austin is gonna be awesome! Speaking of which, Jim are you vacationing there at all this summer? I'm gonna be in San Antonio again (3 Months and 4 days!!! :woot:) so we should try and meet up. I'll avoid car accidents this time and hopefully not have to cop out.
Animals!? Do you have any sheep?
For some reason, the last 3 weeks, I am on this sheep fix. I really want a pet sheep.
:groovy:
lol no no sheep at the moment...just rabbits-80 or so of them. haha.
I begged my parents to let me get a sheep but nope...but my best bud has an exotic animal farm and he has sheep haha.

Morgan if you see me at a meet with my daughter..you are NOT allowed to mention rabbits...k? thanks. ;)

I'm not sure where we will be going over the summer yet. We may not be able to travel down there though b/c I have to go to Colorado in Late April for my younger bro's wedding....then we are going to Orlando Florida for a week in June (Taking Neal to Disney World). We may not have any funds left to do anymore traveling after that? I usually try my best to make it down to my Mom's in Austin over the summer though. We could go invade Ande's swim team which would be fun! (go out for breakfast at one of those great Austin resturants again!!) I'll have to run it past the boss....I mean wife...(uhmm..sorry slip of the tongue there). Its probably about 50/50 right now as to whether we will be going.
