It is Thursday, our first full day here in Belfast. A day to recover and adjust to the time change, do a little shopping and await the arrival of Courtney and the Game Family.
We spent a few hours walking around the city center, picked up some staples...water, chocolate milk and some fruit. We also managed to find a few of our favorite shopping places while in Ireland. Picked out some cute things for Macaela as well as Caitlin and Emma (yes we did girls , different things from Dublin Caitlin) .
We saw the City Hall , Macaela is standing in front of it in the first picture and you can see the Waterfront Hall which is where the Irish Dancing will take place in the far distance sitting on top of Macaela's head in the last picture .
So we have crossed a few things off our list and can do some sightseeing tomorrow and maybe a little more shopping.
Courtney is to arrive shortly and we can't wait to see her....this is a very exciting trip for all of us and we can't wait for the weekend to arrive. We have arranged a practice room with the hotel staff, they are even going to put down their dance floor for us...how lucky are we.
Just back from dinner with our Pickett Family and of practice of course. We had a great time talking tonight and we are all looking forward to the weekend...only 2 more sleeps for Jessie and Macaela and 3 sleeps for Tomas and Shannon. We can hardly believe that we are so close, so much time and training has gone into preparing for Worlds this year.
We ended the day with a little tanning session....the girls were all giggles. A great way a end a great day.
