Now, we struggled and struggled trying to figure out where to go... #firstworldproblems Offhandedly, Jen said "Let's take Abbey (my niece) to London for the Olympics, you know I love London and she loves swimming". After getting permission from my brother and sister-in-law, we started looking at tickets. We waffled, and because we were closing on a house we decided to put it off.
We checked the ticketing site over the next couple months, and everything was consistently sold out that we had an interest in. In February however, more tickets became available. We acquired tickets over the next couple months for several events, including 3 swimming events, ladies gymnastics, and ladies beach volleyball.
On Sunday, March 4th, we were down in Columbus for Abbey's Confirmation. We staged telling her about the event in the form of a 20 questions game. We had "clues" and "hints" to help her along. The "hints" were in the form of little wrapped presents (travel bottles, a small US flag, etc) and they each had a tag with a "ring" on them (olympic colored, of course). She guessed it with four questions to spare. Needless to say, the look on her face was priceless.
