We woke up fairly early out of habit today. I think it was somewhere around 630am. I had stared a new book on the plane so I decided to lay in bed and read. With 2 young boys at home this is a rare occurence for me to be able to do this. It was really really enjoyable and relaxing.
Around 8am we went to the FC for breakfast. We got ready and decided to take a walk around the resort before catching the bus to the expo. I would guess we ended up walking a bit over a mile. The resort is so beautiful. It is one of my favorites. I cant wait to bring dh and the boys here...hopefully someday soon.
Here is one of the pics we took:
We got to the bus stop around 930 and waited by this sign:
Our bus came shortly after and we were on our way to the Expo. While driving I got a call from Kathy aka Mikamah. She was there waiting for us and Lisa and Rose were also on their way. I was so excited to meet my BL (biggest Loser) friends.
We got off the bus and had to walk about 1/2 of a mile to the expo area. Here are the signs:
and here I am with the BL group.
From Left to Right:
Rose(Rose&Mike), Me, Kathy(Mikamah), and Lisa (LisaH). It was so great to meet everyone in person. They are some amazing women and I could not have done this race without there support. I am truly blessed to have found such an amazing group to be a part of.
We stood around for just a short while and chatted. Then the fairy godmother came out and we counted down to the opening of the expo. They sprayed confetti streamers into the air and the expo was officially opened. There were two lines....one to just go in and the other to get a pic with the fairy godmother. Well I couldnt pass that opportunity bye. So I got myself some pixie dust.
and here I am with the FG.
I just had to get my pic with the footmen too.
We walked into the expo and this was our view from upstairs:
We headed down to pick up our bibs and goodie bags. I said goodbye to my friends and spent the next hour shopping like crazy. I would recommend that if you do not want to fight huge crowds to make sure you go right for 10 on the first day of the expo. There were alot of people but it was managable.
Up Next: What did I buy?and did I find that perfect race shirt I was looking for????????????
