Janine & Heather Saturday night.
Aaron, Nancy & Laurie at the dining tent


Sandy & Maria at the dining tent....this is where all the action is at night!
Here they are along the route, beautiful weather!
Every time Maria walked by a Red Sox fan she had to show off her shirt!!




Did I mention the accommodations? Quite nice with the added tablecloth on top for identifying which one is your tent.

They want to walk- I want to ride!

Here is a note from Janine I found in the comments please read!
I know it's quite unusual for me to go all this time and let Laurie do all the talking but I've waited long enough! I must add my 2 cents! First, thanks to our captain Laurie for pulling together the team, the blog, the planning and helping with the fundraising. It's a big job but she does it with enthusiasm every year. Next, thanks to Heather for traveling again this year to cheer us (and the other couple of thousand people) on our journey. We'll laugh, we'll cry and we'll laugh some more but WE WILL NOT WHINE! And last, welcome to our new team members - all walking for their own reasons but I can guarantee each of you, it will be an experience you will never forget. And let me warn you, when you get to the tent where they sign you up for next year, if Laurie is close by, you'll be walking next year! We are Janine the Queen's 3 Day Team!!!!!
Here is Stuart our brother, we had coffee together this morning before we left Ft Lauderdale. What? You like Janines hair? The sillier the better! Lots more to come....
There is quite a lot of preparation that goes into this walk- after the fund raising comes the fun. Lots of goodies & fun stuff to be worn & seen all along the way helps to keep the mood a little lighter. Breast cancer isn't to be taken lightly just how you deal with the exhaustion

of a THREE DAY SIXTY MILE WALK! Any & all distractions are usually welcome I will try to have pictures of all of the things & people we see along the way!

Waiting to see the sunset the night before Day 1 Heather,Laurie,Janine & Mary


There must always be at least a little silliness in getting ready for this big weekend!
