I miss summer vacation! But it's good to be busy again!
Lots to tell about our trip to Vegas/Vancouver/Seattle, but for now I'll just share a little tidbit.
One week from now, we will be watching the first episode of The Amazing Race 10. The one we applied to be on. After we realized we had no chance whatsoever of being called for an interview, I resigned myself to hating season 10 by the sheer bitterness factor. Not so. Since meeting a bunch of really cool TAR fans, I'm more jazzed for this season than ever, knowing that I have a big group of folks who share my excitement for the show.

Tony and I finished off our vacation in Seattle with a trip to Gasworks Park - the location for the finish line for season 3 and the start line for season 10. I ran through the park and pretend-crossed the finish line. I'm sure people would laugh at the absurdity of such a thing, but for us, it was the perfect way to end our vacation. And it gave me a teeny glimmer of hope that one day, we might actually find ourselves standing at the start line in some unknown city, backpacks waiting yards away, for Phil to drop his hand and yell, "Go!"
