After the 2006 Winter Olympics Brad was invited to the Governor's mansion to congratulate all the Washington State Olympians. Since I am married to Brad I was able to tag along.
It was a pretty low key event but it was quite obvious who the star was. Brad was excited when he talked to Apolo in the bathroom. We later had a chance to talk to him a little more and get our picture with him.
The lady on the left is a cross country ski racer. (I don't remember her name...sorry. But she was a VERY nice lady)
Two funny things about this picture.
1) A man who appeared to be Apolo's assistant took this picture and definitely had been coached to take it from a low angle. We were very surprised at how short Apolo was.
2) Brad and Apolo have matching outfits. :)
We have been fans of Apolo ever since, even cheering for him when he was on Dancing with the Stars. He was also the inspiration for our turtle's name. On our drive home we named our turtle Apolo. (although we later found out our turtle is a girl)
Brad has been invited back to the Governor's mansion again. Hopefully we will get to go because it is one week before our baby is coming.
