Sarah and I just went to the grocery store, and I noticed when we got back to the car, that across the aisle from us, in the parking, lot were a van from Massachusetts, a pickup truck from Michigan, and a van from Maryland! While we see Michigan plates in WI, all the time, since it’s right next door, Massachusetts and Maryland are quite the find! The MA van had an outline sticker of a girl doing a gymnastics move and had a sticker that said the word “gymnast” below the license plate.
Also, the La Quinta hotel near our house, had a packed parking lot. Tomorrow night, we will see how crowded it is over by Blue Harbor Resort.
Opening ceremony tickets hard to find

Starting tomorrow, in the North High School gym, is the 2008 YMCA National Gymnastics Championship! We don’t have tickets, though. It’s just exciting seeing lots of out-of-state license plates.
The high schools both built brand-new gyms in the last few years, so they have enough room, to hold a meet of this magnitude:
4,000 tickets sold
1360 gymnasts
21 different states

I see there isn’t anyone participating from Maryland, but maybe it’s a spectator!
