I'd also like to share a funny personal story about last year's tour. I was working at one of the houses, so I asked Tim ( my husband) and my dad if they would like to use my tickets and go on the tour. They said yes, mainly to be supportive of me, as they assumed that it would be all about fancy kitchens and design stuff that is more my style than theirs. Well, they were pleasantly surprised to say the least. By the time they got to the house where I was working, they were already planning their "Round II". They loved the food at each house and were planning on going by each house again in the afternoon because many houses have one demonstrator in the morning and another in the afternoon. Tim said that I should really emphasize to the men in LG that the tour is a great way to get brownie points with your significant other, and load up on great food. Both Dad and Tim are disappointed that they will be missing Tour this year due to the birth of our baby, however, I will be sending my inlaws in their place.
