Hello! Welcome to my 3-Day journey. We left Greeley late this afternoon and headed down to Lakewood where we checked into our hotel. The drive was ok (aside from some rush hour traffic) and we got there a little bit later than we had anticipated but it turned out to be perfect anyway. We walked across the street to the Old Chicago for our team dinner and immediate met up with Jason's cousins, Matt and Kalisa and their twin baby girls. As luck (or fate) would have it, it turned out that they live less than a mile from our hotel!! Gwyn and Wendy are staying with them tonight so that's going to make things really easy when we pick them up in the morning.
This hotel (the Holiday Inn) seems to be a pretty popular place for 3-Dayers... there are 3 motorcycles parked out front all decked out in pink bras. We also saw a couple of people roaming around who had to be walkers...
I had given the girls their presents earlier in the week (can't say what it is 'cause I still need the San Diego folks to be surprised) and in return, Gwyn and Wendy put together some shirts with our team logo on it. It came out amazing! Shannon, please thank your friend again for doing that...
Well, I'd better be getting to sleep. I have to be awake at 4:45 am to make sure I have time to go get coffee before opening ceremonies...
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!
Thanks for reading!

Also, be sure to confirm how Day 2 lunch is--I heard from friends who crewed Boston that it's good this year!! :) Good luck, stay blister free, eat drink and, well you know!! :)
