As Tessa said, we finished our last practice on the charles and the rest of the morning was excellent! Thanks to all our fans that sent us off from the Davis museum yesterday with snacks, pom poms, and sticks that you blow up and smack together "lengthwise" to make noise. At the airport, the majority of us made it through baggage check without going over 50 pounds but thanks to nice check in jet blue workers, those who went over didn't have have a problem.
Once through security at Logan we played banana grams and used our big per diem check (well 15 dollars cash) to buy snacks. A short plane ride later with free tv to keep us occupied, we were in JFK for a two hour layover. We enjoyed the food court there despite the salad bar being $7.99 per pound and some of us purchasing $15 salads. We got on a bigger plan to head to SACRAMENTO and hours and hours and what might have been days later we arrived in CA. By 12:30ish we had received our keys and as far as I know, promptly passed out on the soft soft beds. Today we are ready for a great day of rigging and being California Girls.

Ready.
We just finished our last practice on the Charles - sad to think that it was the last morning that I get to watch Nicola and Casey row at "home" and the last time I will get to watch Hannah steer a majestic line through any and all of our bridges.
We have tremendous student-athletes on this team...but these three are pretty special, and I will miss them so.... So thanks seniors...can't wait to see you "graduate" at Lake Natoma...more importantly, can't wait to see you RACE your hearts out at Lake Natoma.
So our next post will be from California...in the meantime the team is getting packed for our departure.
Next stop...California. (where we are all looking forward to seeing the sun!!)
