    Great pics, and sharp outfit with that Target waiscoat. Looks to be a beautiful venue and a rather large event.

    Fantastic pics, Jay! It looks like this year you had really great weather. The scenery is so beautiful, and the gathering so hectic, you and Nicole must have had a blast.

    Two questions: When did you book the hotel? Did you find the event well organized?

    We booked the hotel in March. At that time there were plenty of rooms available so I think we could have waited longer and still found a room in town. However, while we were there we noticed quite a few guests booking their room for next years games, so early booking is definitely recommended.

    The games were extremely well organized especially taking into account the size of the crowd (which was easily the largest I've ever seen at a Scottish event). The only frustration I had was the fact that several events started late. You can hardly fault the organizers for that, considering how many things were going on at once. The program was an extremely informative magazine that we found indespensible.

    Nice pictures and it looks like you had a great time. I'll have to put these games on my list to do.
