Night One

OK, so Dan and I are here in Seattle. We are getting cozy as we have been pegged to sleep in the same bed. There were a few preliminary questions we had to clear up before we got into bed. 

Can I where my helmet to bed? (Yes) 

Can you help me apply the anti-chafing cream tomorrow morning? (NO!)

Well, it has been fun so far. We have carbed up and we are in the right mind-set. Janet, Jim and my Dad all decided on a 3:30 am wake-up. Now, I can't really say that I am happy about that hour, but when you are with the pack you need to learn how to run. I guess. I am not sure if that made sense.

Highlights from trip so far:

-"Hey Janet, check out Dan's eyes, they're beautiful," I say.

"Oh, let me see Dan!" Janet says.

"Now you got me embarrassed," Dan says.

"They look like universes being born," I say.

"That is ridiculous, and now I am too embarrassed," Dan says.

"Sweet Dan," Janet says.

-We have forgot and had to go-back-and-get/buy one pair of bike shorts, two tennis shoes and a left bike clip-in.

-Burgerville

-Ellie and Mim coming to cheer us on with cookies and signs.

-Janet forcing Thomas to hold her hand.
