and after our Happy New Year's Eve dinner . . .
we headed to DC to meet up with Dana.
There is rarely a day at the Forti's without an event of some kind so on Thursday, we went to the GW University women's basketball game where Caitlin was the "ball girl". Friday we returned for the GW men's game where Caitlin and Zachary both preformed the duties of "ball kids" ~wiping the floor during time outs. It was exciting being so close to the action.
Before we headed to the airport on Saturday, we were up early to watch Zach's indoor soccer game
followed by his basketball practice with coach Carl at the helm.
Carl even managed to recruit help from Dana and Brendan to complete his coaching staff.
Next was Caitlin's basketball practice with coach Carl but alas ~ it was cancelled so we headed home for last minute packing and another surprise birthday celebration for Lynn.
Then it was off to Dulles Airport to begin the first leg of our journey to Africa ~ a 13 hour flight to Dubai.
The Dubai airport was beautiful (thank goodness because we spent 12 hours there) and we were surprised to see all of the Christmas decorations.
So close but yet so far ~ still another 6 - 7 hours of flying!
