Congrats to the boys!!!

I am looking forward to seeing the photos from the "real" Saratoga Springs!

Thanks CP! They are pretty excited about making it this far.

I am looking forward to posting pics from the "real" saratog springs.

Sign me up to join you, the soccer moms, and the DIS moms. Sounds like fun to me!!

Hope the boys' games continue to go well!

Great idea!!!!!! Those Dis moms looked like they were having the best time. we'll call it...The Dismoms meet the Soccer moms and other Beach club groupies!

Great job by the boys. I'm with you though...hate those 8 a.m. games.

Thanks! It took me at least two hours to wake up this morning. I got up at 6am and by the start of the game and several cups of coffee later I was still dragging!

Congratulations to your boys!

Thanks Denise! The boys are having a blast! It's good to win!

Ugggggg, I hate early morning games! Good luck the rest of the way!

Looking forward to your pics of the 'real' SS

Uggghhhhhh to early morning games. Tomorrow's game starts at 10am....much more reasonable time if you ask me.

I wish I could see how the SS NY pics turned out, but it will just have to wait until tomorrow night!

Sounds like the kiddies are doing great! Have a safe trip home can't wait for the next update!

They are doing really well. Thanks for the well wishes. I hope to update Monday night. I really need to do some photo management as well.

Glad to hear the team is winning and your dad is improving!

Hopefully, his improvement will ease some of the stress your mom is feeling

Thanks Dawn! My mom is just having a hard time right now because its a skeleton crew for Memorial Day weekend so she feels like she needs to be there ALL day. It's really hard for her to leave.

Thanks! It will be exciting if we win tomorrow. I hope I didn't jink it by checking flight prices!

Hurray for the wins!!! Enjoy your extra night in Saratoga Springs!

Thanks CP. We are washing uniforms right now and waiting for the dryer to be done, then its off to sleep!

Sunset 30 - I am giving you the extra long welcome because I missed your comment and I apologize. I knew I was missing something! Please excuse my airheadedness.....I really do need that T shirt.

Welcome to the Dis! Glad you like the TR. Hope you read along with the rest of us creepy internet folks.

Congrats to you for a Disneymoon - those are my favorite. Hope to hear all about it!!!!!!

I am officially caught up

Sounds like you had a nice day at MK! Too bad Splash was down, boo!! I really hope I can get DH and that and DTMRR in Oct! I'll be sad if I have to ride alone! You'll have to visit my TR to find what I mean about Oct

It also sound like you had a lovely afternoon at the pool! Your drink sounds yummy! I've never heard of UV Blue! I may have to go find me some

What a lovely evening at R&C!! Yummy food and drinks, a great view of Illuminations and great friends, what more could you ask for?!

I do think, however, that you got all the photography skill in your family!!! Your pics are absolutely gorgeous!! Denny's, not so much!

I hope your Dad is well! lots of prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family!!

Congrats to the boys! Woo hooo!!! I can't wait to see picks of the real Saratoga Springs!

I saw that you are going on an adults only trip. IMHO they are the best trips, for a lot of reasons!

It also sound like you had a lovely afternoon at the pool! Your drink sounds yummy! I've never heard of UV Blue! I may have to go find me some

It is pretty yummy, but I think I am going to have to try some of the liquors that Ellen and Tracy suggested. I actually love walking up and down the isle at the liquor store - so many pretty bottles!

You are so right - I could not have planned the evening any better. It was perfect!

Thanks & Thanks! My dad is doing a bit better. I didn't talk to my mom yesterday, but I will call and get an update today.

I promise to post pics of the real saratoga!

Great news about the wins!

Thanks.....update in a minute!

How did the boys do this morning?

See below...........

Brian's team won the President's Cup Region I tournament in NY yesterday. They won 1 to 0 in overtime! They are U17 and will be competing in the national tournament in Tennessee July 8 - 11th! I forget the name of the town - something with a M. It appears to be a hr or so south of Nashville, TN. The tentative plan is to charter a bus for the team. The boys have never participated in a national tournament, so this is pretty special for them to plays teams from all over the country!

I have never been to TN, so I would love to go. I wish I could make a real vacation of it. I would love to visit Nashville. I would also love to visit the Great Smokey mtns. We will see what happens! I did really well driving to NY and back, so maybe I can drive that far - 10 hrs I think!

BTW - I waved to you Ellen while I was on the GS Parkway - which, by the way, is now fabulous due to the tool booth revisions and more lanes. Wow! - huge improvement compared to 5 or 6 yrs ago!

Nicholas' team won Division 2 Blue Grey Tournament in Gettysburg, Pa. They are U15.

Now I can honestly say that my kids have NEVER, EVER won an entire tournament over Memorial Day weekend. So after traveling every memorial day for as long as I can remember, we finally have a double win!

I'll try to post some soccer photos once I get them uploaded to photobucket. They are extremely time consuming to edit so patience please!

In Trip news - I really hope to get my next update up soon. Sorry for the delay!

Is it Murfreesboro, TN?

Thanks....and YES....its Murfreesboro.....tell me whatever you can about the town. I am counting on my Dis friends to give me some info because I have never driven further east than then border of NC. I know nothing about that area of the country!

 

[dawnbu40]

Congratulations! That's fantastic! The boys must be thrilled and you have to be so proud!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh, I don't know anything about it except that a really bad tornado went through it in the spring of '09. That's why the name is stuck in my mind.

I should have known that is why you would know it.

You know I am a veritable fount of tornado touch-down knowledge.

Thanks! We are all pretty psyched and stunned about the double wins!

That's so funny, because when I googled murfreesboro (or whatever the name is), that's one of the first things I saw. That and the battlefield. That must have been a BAD tornado!
