July 22-24: Sunday morning starting out with early practice at Tarbut. Later that day we arrived at John Wayne Airport excited to compete for our third national championship. We landed in Texas safely and found our way to the hotel. The chef made us some yummy quesadillas and we were off to bed.

We were supposed to practice at 7am the next morning but our room accidentally slept in a half hour longer. We finally woke up to Ed pounding on our door and with un-brushed teeth we hurried down to the cars waiting outside. However, this was not the only thing that made us behind schedule. We spent at least an hour making U-turns and getting on and off freeways looking for the field complex. Our butts were soar from bouncing on the back seat but at least we had time to get the sleep out of our eyes. We finally found the fields using Alyssa’s satellite map on her cell phone

The rest of the morning we lounged around playing games, watching movies and relaxing. We headed to the mall for a few hours and went to get pizza later.

Getting to practice the next morning went much smoother and we got there in less than 20 minutes. As we got back to the hotel we fought over who would get to shower first so we could get more time to primp up for the luncheon. With dresses on and our hair out if its usual ponytail we headed to take pictures in the lobby. The only time this trip you will see us out of soccer clothes or sweats.

Now we are off to bed early to get a good nights rest. We know what we have to do tomorrow and we are eager to get our first game out of the way. Slammer time!
