North Bend, WA -- Well the dream of Father's Day at Le Mans, France for the 75th Running of the 24 hours of Le Mans will get its official start early Sunday morning when son Joseph gets on an airplane for his three-legged trip to Paris.
Flying on air miles, he had to take an itinerary to get to France that will take him from Seattle to Minneapolis, from Minneapolis to Houston, and then finally a direct flight from Houston to Paris. On the way back, however, he gets a straight shot on Air France, Paris to Seattle.
So far he is nervous as a bride on her wedding day, with a number of issues from his job looming over his head as well as trying to get packed for his first trip -- his first off the North American continent.
The plan is for him to spend a day in Paris and see the Louvre and then take a day and see Rouen and Normandy. Rouen is a very historic city, and the place where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. It is also the home of a 24 Hour boat race.
Wednesday he will head to LeMans and I will meet him there and we will officially be race bums for the rest of the week -- making pictures and filing stories to amaze and delight you.
Stay tuned.
