U.S. Figure Skating Championships

Kansas City, Missouri

Pitch black and pouring rain as we leave home at 4 am and head for the airport. Park in the dark, scramble through the rain to the brightly lit and welcoming Fresno Air Terminal. Quickly through security with our Pre-Check tickets and on to Starbucks ;-)

We are off to mark something off Jean’s bucket list. To see, in person, the US Figure Skating Championships. Yep, Kansas City here we come! We have never done something like this so are excited to see world class skaters, Ashley Wagner, Olympic Silver in 2016, Gracie Gold, two- time Olympic champion, Chen and Maia, brother and sister- World and US 2016 silver and Nathen Chen, U.S. 2016 bronze medalist and many others.



Watching the inauguration in our room today, getting caught up on work and looking forward to the Championship Men’s Short Program at 7:30 tonight. We are looking forward to an amazing week-end and will post our adventures.
