I started my day early in the morning working a booth at the Health and Wellness Roundup in Centralia. We were trying to time everything right so Kim, Tressa, and I could meet-up before the Expo. I was on the freeway heading north when I got a text from Kim. She wasn't far behind me so I waited for her at Exit 111. We then zoomed up to Exit 129 where we met Track Coach & Tressa. We got Tressa & Riley transferred over to my car and drove the last few miles to the Expo. We weren't there long when Kerrie showed up and caught us at the Running Skirts booth :) Where I ordered one of these. We picked up our packets and shopped a little, and then Tressa came up with a great idea.
She had discovered a place called, Hello Cupcake. We needed to kill some time before dinner so we thought dessert first, sounded like a great idea. It was just down the block, very convenient.
Being a nerd, I loved this.
The cupcakes were amazing. Red velvet, chocolate peanut butter, and vanilla with chocolate.
The Spaghetti Factory was just up and around the same block. We found this on our way up. Kim & Kerrie had a little fun with it.
We decided to save some time and pack Riley up the stairs instead of using all the zig zag paths.
Tressa & Riley
Carla & I
Dinner was great. The food was good and the company even better. It was nice getting to know Carla.
After dinner, Tressa and I followed Kim to her parents house. They were nice enough to let us crash there for the night. We went through all the racing gear/skirts I brought to find the perfect race day outfits. I also brought lots of polish to decorate our toes.
Can you guess who's toes belong to who?
Baby Riley was amazing all day. Isn't she cute?
I think we all headed to bed around 10PM. I laid out my race outfit, set my alarm, and quickly fell asleep. That never happens.
Expo day was super fun. It's wonderful hanging out with people who share something you enjoy so much. Stay tuned for my race report.
