London

On the plane...our traveler

Summer....

It's been awhile and I've got a lot to say- so I better get started.

Go for the gold man. Go for the Gold.

Let's start with London. Amazing. Done and done. Really. Awesomeness. Because of my amazing girlfriend (KATI KELLY) we were able to get tickets to the Olympics AND the bonus of staying and overtaking her living room. Her sister's family was there as well so it was in two words- cozy and a whole lot of fun. We saw beach volleyball and two soccer(futbol) games. "Beach"volleyball was at 8:00 PM under the bright lights and a man made mini beach. We were wearing jackets and much to Will's dismay the women players were wearing long spandex pants and shirts. As we were there until 12 AM we saw the sun setting, Big Ben and castles in the distance... It was magnificent. Added onto this excitement WAS.... it was the men's and women's American teams that were playing... (Our women who would later go on to win the gold). See? Amazing. 
The two following nights were soccer games. To watch soccer on TV, I find it a bit of a snooze fest... But in person? You could throw stripes on me and call me a ref- I'm screaming, rooting for countries(Gabon?)that I've never heard of, and totally living in the moment. The first night GB women were playing which, having little loyalty, Wyatt dressed in GB garb(thanks AGAIN Kati Kelly) and we were waving their flag like it was our job. They won. Not that I'm taking full credit or anything. 
The second evening our seats were 18 rows behind the goal. Ahhhhhhmazing. An experience to remember for a lifetime. It's a bummer Wyatt was sleeping for 3/4 of it. Whatevs. 
During the days we toured, shopped, picnicked in the park, saw crown jewels, hung out with Beefeaters, walked like the Beetles and had an amazing time with friends.Seriously living the life and loving it.
