Finally here

     So, we have been here for about 2 days now, and I finally have a moment to sit down and tell y'all about what we have been up to now that we have arrived in Louisville.  The drive here actually wasn't so bad, but my hopes of stopping and enjoying some of the sites along the way were halted when I realized that Justin would not leave the bike alone on the rack for fear that something would happen to it.  Ugh!  With that being the case, we scratched the idea of staying the night in Nashville and continued on our way to Louisville.  However, I did get a really quick glimpse of Nashville and it totally looks like a fun city- so I've added that to my bucket list!
     In all actuality, arriving in Louisville a day early was great!  The boys (and me) got to sleep in the next day and I think we were done living out of the car.  Justin's brother, Paul, arrived at midnight that night, so we were able to spend a whole extra day with him as well.  And, Josh and Bailey arrived early the next day.
     I have to admit the whole hype surrounding the IronMan here in Louisville is pretty cool.  Everything was really organized and check in for Justin and Paul was a breeze.  They also got a chance to buy some IM memorabilia.  In fact, I had to stop Justin from being THAT guy.  Between the T-shirts, iphone cases, stickers, body tattoos, cowbells, car stickers, underwear and shoes I can see where people get really caught up in buying everything with the IM logo on it!
     Today, along with Bailey (Josh's girlfriend) I took my boys to the Squire Boone Caverns for some exploring and to get them out of the hotel room.  We had a great time exploring the underground on Indiana and getting a chance to cool off in 54 degree weather in the caves!
     I haven't really seen Justin much, which I know was to be expected.  I'm trying not to get annoyed, but it comes through sometimes.  I just keep reminding myself that this is something he has worked for and we are almost at the finish line.
With Sunday just around the corner, I need to start planning my routes and spectator spots so I can get a couple of views of the brothers during the race.  Its going to be a long day, but Leslie has taught me well on how to be prepared spectator, so I know I'll be ready!
