Another Blue Streak Day!

For those not familiar with the Blue Streak Roller Coaster, it is by far the best roller coaster I have ever been on! It is at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio on Lake Erie. I grew up near there and spent many summers with my friends riding the Blue Streak. It's one of those old fashion types made with wood and it makes that great clickity clackity sound as it climbs toward the first drop. Once at the top, you hang for a brief moment with a breathtaking view of the lake and the anticipation of teetering over the top - fear, excitement, exhilaration - then you begin to slowly roll over the crest feeling yourself come up off the seat and you briefly think to yourself, "will my seatbelt hold" as you scream your head off! Then on you go, up and down, over and under, twisting and turning, screaming and laughing, until it finally slows down, and clickity clackity comes to an end. And when you climb out of the car, your legs are shaking, you're still laughing, and your throat feels raw. You think to yourself, "that wasn't so bad" and you decide to do it again!

We spent most of our day trying to get our documents apostilled at the State. Finally, after many phone calls and emails, they were able to apostille all of our documents. Our courier picked them up and dropped them in the FEDEX box. The package was picked up by FEDEX at 5:46pm and is on track to be in Virginia by 10:30am tomorrow morning. We are not quite breathing easily and won't until we know those documents are in our family coordinator's hands. I'll be tracking that package all night!

Yes, today was a Blue Streak Day! (except for the "do it again part").

Praying our package is delivered on time,
Elizabeth
