We Made It; Day 1 w/Monsoon Rains


So we woke up at 4:00am and ready to rock and roll.  At about 6:45 a monsoon rain shower started so we decided to put our swimsuits on and practice some karate moves out in the courtyard...though I think Lael is do her best Abba impersonations: 



"Voulez-vous (ah-ha)Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous"

Also, we wanted to say thank you to all our family and friends for the great visits, parties, play dates and the fabulous send offs.  We feel quite fortunate to have made such great friends in Washington and at FISW.  We frequently asked our Mama and Papa if we would every see you all again during the 20+ hours of travel time.  They told us with good friends you may go a long time without seeing one another but when you finally do meet up again, things just pick up where they left off.  We plan on updating our blog periodically (with the big adventures) as well as practicing our writing on postcards, so if you want to be pen pals...please drop us a postcard to the below address.
