Our families love tennis.....mostly to watch, but we enjoy "playing" occasionally. And WOWEE......the men's championship game yesterday was FANTASTIC! Read what happened:
Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick
5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 (!!!!!!!!!)
for his record 15th Grand Slam title and sixth Wimbledon championship on Sunday. It was the longest men’s Grand Slam final in history at 77 games. The previous record was 71 games. The previous Wimbledon record was 62 games (last year’s Wimbledon final between Federer and Rafael Nadal).
Roger Federer came to Wimbledon as a huge favorite and is leaving Wimbledon with the championship -- and a piece of history. It took him about 4 hours and 20 minutes to do it, but in beating Andy Roddick on Sunday at Wimbledon Roger Federer now has 15 tennis majors, more than any other man in the history of the sport.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what an AWESOME match this was! We have it recorded and will enjoy this tennis for years to come.
Now............on to a wonderful day we had July 4th.
We had the pleasure of spending the day with Susan and Richard (Dorian's sister and brother in law from Richmond) AND with Phill and Christy and their family, plus Christy's mom, Cindy and step dad, Tim (from PA). We all headed downtown to the Potomac River to enjoy the afternoon with each other, eat dinner, and watch the fireworks together.
yep, even Ayden enjoyed the fireworks! He watched with AWE. :)
the fireworks and the day were just wonderful!
A wonderful day to celebrate the freedom we have in the USA ~
with special people in our lives.
