In another bit of serendipity, much like finding Kel, Paula, and the girls in Ohio at the same time we were, Buds and I realized that the folks he and Monkey work out with at CrossFit Vector would be competing at Regionals in Columbus, Ohio on the weekend the children and I would be returning from the Kalihari.
After leaving behind the loved ones in Holy Toledo!, we headed to our hotel in Columbus.

The hotel was awesome. Kids and I had a great time settling in.
Buds ran into a black hole on his drive, so didn’t get to us until late. But to be back together with him after a week apart…priceless.
Staying on campus means awesome places to eat all around.

It was excellent to be at another year of regionals. This year Monkey is a CrossFitter, which makes it all the more special.

The younger two, not currently bitten by the CF-Bug, managed to pass the time while the rest of us cheered.

We had a great time, despite the loud noise.
And after everyone except Buds and me was tired of seeing the super-fit athletes:
We went out for pizza back on campus:
Then headed home to our new kitchen. It was a great wrap-up to an excellent week.
