Wimbledon 2008


We decided to stop by Wimbledon and see if we could
get in. The first day we waited in the queue for about
an hour. The Brits have this queueing thing
down to an art.


Everyone gets a queue card and a 40 page guide to
queueing for the championships. We were very impressed
with the organization of it all.


Here I am with my ground ticket standing in
Wimbledon Park in front of the order of play
board.


We watched a doubles match with Jonas Bjorkman
and Kevin Ullyett.

Here we are on the second day we went to Wimbledon.
This time we waited in the queue for 3 hours! UGH!
But it was well worth it. We made it to the lawn to see the
end of Rafael Nadal's match. (he's my fav!)
And here he is on the big screen!


After that we got seats in court 2 and were
able to watch Venus and Serena Williams play doubles!
I was in heaven!!

And they won of course! Take a look below to watch

some live action. I apologize for the poor quality.

I promise to get better!










Well, gotta go. I am watching more Wimbledon Tennis!

Go Rafa!!!
