Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

Cleveland Cavaliers #ALLIN #216 #champions

Adam cannot actually watch the game,
or they lose, he can only glance occasionally.
 He stayed on the tablet most of the time
 and watched the last 10 seconds. 
Our first glimpse at the new Championship hat.
 Insane.  Just Insane.  
Cleveland Cavaliers  #ALLIN #216 champions 
Atlas needed to wear these PJ's to bed. 
They won all 4 when he wore these. 
Apparently star wars and avengers were
 bad luck for this game.  Ares
wore his Lebron James jersey.  





































The official locker room edition t-shirts we bought
at 2am from Dicks, immediately after they won.  =) 



We woke Atlas up to take a family photo
immediately after they won.
Tears of Joy - Shock - Awe....  it came down to the last 10.6 seconds.  Tie game.   Kyrie hit a 3 point over Stephen Curry to put the Cavs up by 3.   Lebron blocked a layup from another player, then Golden State fouled the hell out of  him and we thought Lebron broke his wrist.   He misses the first foul shot - nerves in CLE were out of control,  pacing, sweating, the thought "is this going to be another "THE____" moment?  (The Shot, The Drive, The Bottom of the 9th, The ______).   more pacing, hands rubbing together, Ares asking if I'm ok.   Golden State time out, time in, ball in, 1 foul to give.  Use it.   Thinking:  Shit, if they go for a 3, get it, and we foul them, we're tied again.  Shit Shit Shit.   Pacing.  they inbound the ball, 3 point attempt, missed, another attempt, miss!!!  CAVS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Tears, happy tears.  We jump up and down, ecstatic.  Adam went to wake Atlas up, who wasn't thrilled, until he sees the excitement on TV.  I called dad to make sure he didn't have a heart attack. (I wanted to call, but Adam MADE me call.)  Then we decide all 4 of us (at 11pm) are going to Dicks to get some championship clothing.  We got there and waited in line waiting for the business to open.   About 5 minutes.  Adam takes Atlas to Walmart quickly to see what they have (nothing).  Doors open, and people SHOVE/PUSH through.  (I'm a rock concert gal, this was NOTHING  compared to that.)   I put Ares on my shoulders, and he was a rockstar child.  Amazing.  We got everything we wanted, with Adam's help on the other side of the store, and then waited in line, with 2 young children, until 1:40. 
Drove 2 shirts to my parents' house. 1 to surprise dad on his steering wheel (Happy Father's Day) and one for my mom.  
WHAT.A.NIGHT!  
the kids went to bed at 2.  I was up until 3:30.  Worth it!!  
Amazing, amazing, amazing.   I will remember this forever.  





About 15 minutes after they officially won the game.  
There were more people behind me in line than in front of me.


these people are all behind us, there were WAAAY more people behind us in line than in front of us.   Getting the shirts was like being in a mosh pit.  People helped each other out, but so much pushing.   I had Ares on my shoulders.
