So glad we could be a part of it.
I was so thrilled to see all the mini's arriving at "my mall" and taking you all around 'our little town'. I was grinning the whole time!  I really enjoyed these twisty-turny roads I didn't even know I had in my area....any time anyone wants to head this way and run again....We're game! Look forward to getting together for the next event...we are just trying to figure which one that is. Mary (Chris too!)

Chris and Yolanda, it was a wonderful sendoff and I'm so glad I was able to make it. Lots of luck on your future and we look forward to seeing your continued posts. Mary, that was a great drive (even in the rain). I will definitely have to come do that drive again on a sunny day with the top down and bring Larry along. Good job! I think you officially earned a "cat herder" badge for this one.
 It was great seeing everyone and meeting all the new folks who are going to be a perfect fit with our MINI craziness. As usual, in my stupor, I didn't take any pictures, so I look forward to seeing others' pictures so I can share with Larry all the fun we had. He's sorry that he couldn't make it but it's better that he didn't infect everyone with his cold.

Really fun route Mary, I'm still grinning. For a send-off party that has to rank up there pretty high. And we gave some campers something to remember too. Great day, even if it did rain. Thanks everybody. Impressive for the newbies...

Thank you all for giving my in-laws a great time! This was a real treat for them to get to join the group and go for a run, it was all a fun experience for them and they enjoyed meeting everyone. Ear to ear grins and another great story for them to take back to Kansas!
PS - Thanks for looking out for my MINI, this was their first run with about a three day MINI familiarity training.

Sorry I missed you Chris and Yolanda. I hope you both had a lot of fun. I wish I could've seen Chris' expression when he saw everyone. Was he in shock?
 Here's wishing you safe travels... Do keep in touch. It was a bummer I couldn't make it.
 ...but I'm glad Steve went (with a lot of prodding). It was his first PSMINI outting by himself, so that's BIG in my eyes.  I'll be looking forward to some pics. I hope someone took photos even though the weather wasn't the greatest. By chance, was there a group pic of everyone with their MINIs?

Yes, Ed, we welcome Alma's parents anytime! They did you proud! They are really great people and fit right in with all of us.
So glad Chris enjoyed the day! Thanks for getting him there, Yo!
Steve did you proud, Brenda! His comment about seeing lots of great old tractors and therefore a great route, was priceless!
I still can't quit laughing about LeAnne's very quick 'booty shake'!!
Thanks to everyone that came as well. We really had a great time and the route was really a fun one. You are an excellent scout and leader, Mary! I'd do this run again in a heartbeat! Edited by WOODSTOCK - June/19/10 at 9:36pm |

Me too - but next time in CINIMIN and I'm driving!
Great send off for Chris, Yolanda and Shyanne and we wish them the best in their new adventures. Great way to welcome our new members and give them a taste of PSMINI Motoring at its finest - even in the rain. As always, good to spend some time with the regulars who are such great supporters of the club and all our activities. Thanks to the staff at the Airport Diner for great service and separate checks! Ed and Alma, Brenda, and Larry, you were missed but your designated drivers got the job done in style. Leanne I wish I could have caught the wiggle on video - maybe next time... For those who missed this one, put it on your must do list for next time - great drive! Edited by CINIMIN - June/19/10 at 11:15pm |

We had a real blast today. Great run! You always know it's a good thing when my kids are disappointed that it's over! (Even with the rain.) Thank you so much and we're looking forward to the next one.
Chris and Yolanda, may sunshine always bless your drives and rocks avoid your bonnet. Best wishes to you and your family and please keep us posted on your great adventures. |

What a great little Cruise! I have lived in Kitsap County 16 years and had never been on some of those roads before; IT WAS GREAT!!!
Mary definitely earned her "Cat Herder" badge and did a wonderful job in picking out that route, but I wonder which Committee Member was responsible for the "Booty Shake"???? My wife, Lee, and I had such a good time we are going to try and think about other drives that could be put together in Kitsap. Chris and Yolanda sure had a good send off back to the Land of Kudzu.

Mary, you did a wonderful job planning and a leading, especially starting out in the city. I had a really hard time leading everyone coming up from Tacoma and most of that was freeway. So, I give you big kudos for leading such a big group through all of the turns so well.
The route that we took was pretty much the most fun that I have ever been on, they were a little bumpy, but the fact that there was very minimul traffic and never really a time that you weren't accelerating, braking (by brake pad warning light came on on the way back home), or going through a corner totally made up for it.
This was Ashley's first run with the club and she had a great time meeting everyone and got addicted to looking in the mirrors and seeing the line of minis behind us.
Be on the look out for some of our pictures later today.

Here are a few pictures that Ashley and I took. Keep in mind that they are from a camera phone so they are not even close to as good as James'      |

Ty, you did a great job leading us out of Tacoma, considering we were on a highway and there was a lot of other traffic to deal with. Nobody got lost (especially Louis); can't get any better than that!

I'm sorry it ended up I couldn't make this. Sounds like it was a fun drive despite the weather (good thing it wasn't today - it's been pouring here all day). James, nice job of showing off all those gorgeous MINIs
 , and, Ty & Ashley, nice "MINIs in Action" shots. Hope I have another chance at this one!
Cheers!
