Day 1: It's been an interesting trip so far. Our wonderful friends at Enterprise gave us a great deal on a van and sent us on our way. However, the van started to shake above 60 miles an hour, so we called them up, and they set up a trade out vehicle in the Tri-Cities. After a quick and painless transition from one van to the next, we got to the hotel. We managed to get the two girls room adjoining, so they can have two temperatures for sleeping. One,...

It was a great experience we will try to do again next year. There were 17 first time swimmers in an outdoor 50M pool. 88 swimmers swam 144 best times. Two out of every three swims was a best time, and along the way we set 5 team records.   ...
