Over 300 miles and back again

So this weekend we were in Memphis for a baseball tournament. It was a H-O-T weekend, but least there was no rain this time. (Refering to BUST post)



It was a good time. I do wish though our manager would stop requesting no games on Fridays. Our boys the had to play 3 on Saturday. 2:45 pm, 5:00 pm, and 9:30 pm. But the 9:30 field was on a delay and they didn't start until after 10. We were playing ball after mid-night. LOL.



Boys faired well. But I will say you come up against these country boys and you have your work cut out for you. We ended up not seeding into Semi-Finals for Sunday so we did get a jump on an early arrival Sunday.

Only to pull into town and leave house again an hour later to play ball for AN team. So no rest for the weary.

I am through with distant drives for now I tell you. I can tell I am older now. I remember when the 15 hour drive we had from the AFB to home was nothing. Now I am wiped after a lil ol' 6 hour drive. LOL.

Tonight we have to drive a little over an hour to AN team game. It is SOOooo not worth driving that far for that team. Oh well. Had I been thinking ahead I would have booked a hotel and stayed down there for the night. Just seventeen more miles south and we could spent the next day at the Caverns. But I didn't think of that.

So until next time ...

Enjoy the day. :)

Memphis .. be nice

and play fair. We are headed back to Memphis in June. So if you please Mr. Memphis please behave and do not treat us unkind again.

So yeah, team mom emailed and said:

Hi everyone! Bummer we got rained out...but looked like beautiful fields. People seemed interested in going back because the drive isn't bad. The only other tournament there is June 5-7 weekend. We could bow out of the XYZ tournament if this is what everyone wants to do. Would anyone be interested in going back? We would need to book a hotel throught ZYX this time as they now have a hotel reservation system in place. From what I have checked for availability it would be a ABC Suites facility $109 a night or so. They now have King Suites available. Let me know as soon as possible so they could pencil us in. The list of teams looks very similar to this weekend. Everyone wants to go back to Corky's BBQ, right???!

PS They have an outdoor pool.....

I was less that thrilled to get this email 2 hours after we got back home. Are you kidding me? My first response was HELL NO!! Are you kidding me? Have you lost the mind you carry with you? Did you take a ball to the head? I am not getting back in that car for NOTHING!! I have taken my last road trip!!

But after some deep breathes. Dad dude soothing my flip out. Some bribes. What? I am not to proud to say I can be bribed. I am feeling better about the trip today. But I wonder??? I can leave every thing packed? Do we really need those clothes in the suitcase? lol.
