Another successful event! We had 4700 walkers and 550+ crew. The weather was nice, and the rain held off until we began to walk into closing ceremonies. My Pit 1 Crew was fabulous, and I was so glad not to have a repeat of my bad crew experience in 2005.

We had a pajama party theme for the first 2 days, and were patriotic yesterday in celebration of Veteran's Day. On Day 3, I was the Pit greeter, so I got to hand out stickers and have a tad more interaction than the first 2 days where I was behind a table saying "oranges and bananas, bananas and oranges!"

Also, because we were Pit one, we got to spend 3 hours yesterday clapping in all the walkers. With the combo of cheering them in both morning and afternoon, I have completely lost my voice. As usual, my dh got stuck on an intersection until almost the minute closing ceremonies began, so despite doing 3 events together, we still haven't gotten to stand together at closing.

I am so ready to walk SF next year! So far, it looks like DH will do moto crew for SF and SD, and possibly the SF Avon walk. I need to decide soon whether I am going to do a 2nd event and crew San Diego next year too.

OK, that should obviously be S.D., for San Diego.

Thank you so much for crewing. I'm sorry I didn't see this when you posted. Can't wait to walk with you next year!

Where the hell ahve you been missy???


Glad you had fun!

I've been here! Just super busy.

Look at the gorgeous smile on that little guy. So, are you walking with us in San Fran?

It's a possibility.

Yay! I was thinking about things with the aftermath of the fires and such in San Diego.

I'm glad it went well for you - I thank you for crewing - that support is so incredible.
