Recap - Our personal medals haul

Hello again.  Sorry for the not posting earlier.  Still encountering internet issues.  Resorted to the Starbucks around the corner.  We are still in Vancouver.  Had the opportunity to meet with some folks while here, and then will attend the Governor's reception for all Washington State Olympic athletes returning from the games later this week.  We've had the opportunity to reflect on our personal experience, and it's been amazing.  Not only did the U.S. win the most medals ever in a Winter Olympics, we were so fortunate to personally witness 11 of the 37 medals.
Saturday, Feb. 13th - Ladies Moguls - Hannah Kearney-Gold; Shannon Barkey-Bronze
We endured sideways rain, but it was worth it.
Sunday, Feb. 14th - Men's Moguls - Bryon Wilson-Bronze
We also witnessed Alex Bilodeau win Canada's first gold medal on home soil. - So cool!  Then we learned from my sister Marlene that Bryon is a shirt tail relative of mine - 15 degrees of separation.
Monday, Feb. 15th - Men's Snowboard Cross - Seth Wescott-Gold
We were cheering for local favorite Nathan Holland who finished 4th, but a gold is a gold!
Wednesday, Feb. 17th - Men's Snowboard Halfpipe - Shaun White-Gold;  Scotty Lego-Bronze
The most amazing thing to see how much higher the flying tomato gets than all of the other riders. He deserves the hipe! 
Thursday, Feb. 18th - Men's Figure Skating - Evan Lysacek-Gold
I don't need to say anything more here - Our biggest medal highlight.
Saturday, Feb. 20th - Men's Short Track 1000 meter - Apolo Anton Ohno-Bronze
Our eighth medal-short track never disappoints.  We had a ball.
Monday, Feb. 22nd - Figure Skating - Dance - Meryl Davis and Charlie White-Silver
Tannith and Ben should have won Bronze, but with the cold war heating up after Evan's Gold they gave it to the Russians.  (My little editorializing)
Friday, Feb. 26th - Short Track Speed Skating - Katherine Reutter - Silver in the 1000 meter; Apolo and Team USA won the Bronze in the 5000 meter relay
It was fitting that my favorite event the 5000 meter relay capped off the events that we attended where the U.S. won a medal.  I'm exhausted from just recounting it!
