Not to be premature, but Kim's & Anne's question regarding lodging for the race got me thinking. Oktoberfest will be in full swing in Leavenworth during that weekend, which means that if you intend to stay in Leavenworth, it would be wise to find lodging soon. The race starts at 9 am - so I am thinking we will stay as close as possible to Leavenworth. I have looked at some lodging and have found some available - anywhere from $100 to $200 a night, which brings me to my next question...
Paige said some people are welcome to stay at their place in Selah - about an hour and a half from Leavenworth. We can't all stay there, obviously. For those interested in staying in Leavenworth, should we arrange to stay at the same place, maybe share rooms to cut down on cost? Just a thought...

We had an awesome time at dinner with K&B and B&B. It's great having Isaac watch the kids while we go out on the town - it's very liberating. He is funny, though. Always anxious to know when we will be getting home. The night we went out, he called us on the cell while we were driving home - it was about 11:10 pm...

Hello?
Mom?
Yea?
Where are you?
We are on our way home - we'll be there in about 20 minutes.
Mom - this is ridiculous! It's 11:30!

It was pretty funny - I felt like I was 16 again, and had missed curfew...again.

Anyway - it looks like Dave and I have tickets to the Modest Mouse show next month at the Crystal Ballroom - before they start their big tour. I like those small venues.

And Happy Birthday to Buffy - enjoy your dinner and movie tonight!

Later...
