We'll be contentedly sitting in front of the television tonight for the Olympic closing ceremonies, eager to see what kind of fantastic events the Italians have planned, and to see the proverbial "torch" passed from Torino to Vancouver for the 2010 Games. (2010! Yikes! It'll be here before we know it!) Brian and I slept through Apolo Anton Ohno winning gold last night, and were barely awake for the bronze-medal relay, so we're feeling kinda bummed that we missed it. Is it the extra exercise from hitting the slopes that is making us so fricking tired by 10 p.m.? It's embarrassing! Anyway, we'll do our best to stay on the alert this evening, so we can at least say that we saw the American team carrying the flag into the closing ceremonies.
We all had an excellent breakfast this morning, and wandered around the downtown area of Steamboat Springs, then came back here for some afternoon napping and snacking. Dinner will be within walking distance -- all so we'll be here in enough time for the TV.
We are to be up bright and early tomorrow morning for the trip to the airport and then home. We're looking forward to heading back -- mainly because we miss the beast -- but also because one never sleeps so well as they do in their own bed.

The short track speed skating was quite exciting last night... maybe because it is the firt night of Olympics watching, that I didn't pre-check the results online first!
Even the two Canadian women winning in regular speed skating felt like a U.S. win.
Have a safe trip back! See you Tuesday.
