Kristin and I left around 1:30 to head to Tulsa on Saturday... going straight to the Cox Business Center for the Race Expo and Packet Pickup... get excited!! ;-)
I was actually pretty happy to see these medals for this year's race... most of mine from past races are smaller and round, but these are big and glittery and kinda extra in a good way! lol
After Emily's shower, I always think about how much these balloon displays cost. They do several of them for this event! I'm gonna vote that they reroute that $$ toward better packets and better signs marking the path along the race path next year!!
Thankfully, Kristin snapped this photo of the enlarged course map at packet pickup. She was sending it to Frankie to give him an idea of where to park, but we used it mannnny times along the way to figure out where to turn and/or what mile marker we were at (they'd taken down some of those signs before we got there).
Kristin had it on a list of places she wanted to see, and I had just seen Sarah's video that morning, so we stopped by Roosevelt's just to see the Christmas decor!
It did not disappoint - very fun atmosphere! Mom and I will have to visit it sometime soon!
We had dinner at The Brook and I sent this pic to Rach and Kyndal. lol Different foods hit very differently post-surgery, and like 3-4 bites of this is incredibly filling. I put the leftovers in what I thought was a fridge in our hotel room, but the mac n' cheese and my bottled water were both very frozen. lol #lamesauce
Other than that and the pillows, our stay at The Renaissance Hotel was nice...
After checking in, we grabbed dessert at the Big Dipper... I had been off sweets when the fam went there in September, so I was happy to finally try it!
Yay! ❤
We both loved it - my choices were extreme cookies n' cream, Christmas tree cake, and pony boy (sweet cream + brownies and chocolate)!
Meanwhile, Rach and the kids went with Dad to the final OSU home game that afternoon! Fun times!!
We ended the night with the Barden Bellas, going to bed a little early to be ready for our 6am wakeup call and RACE DAY!! (See next post.)
Happy Monday and Happy Thanksgiving Week!!
❤❤❤
