Yay! I just printed all my dining PS and linked them together. My eyes may be bigger than my stomach.​

I know. I am trying to stay positive. The second drive won't be bad as the destination rocks! The drive to Vegas will be less than thrilling for sure. His team isn't playing wonderfully either so paying loads of money to see them lose kinda stinks. Hopefully his coach has a game plan. They picked up too many new players over the summer and it hasn't worked out as anticipated. The upside is that Joshua and I will get some awesome mom/son time together on the drive. He's like me and doesn't sleep much in the car so he should be a good co-pilot. ​

Good quality time is definitely worth it. And if he has fun playing that's icing on the cake.

He really loves the game which makes it all worth it. ​

That looks scrumptious!


You're almost in the 20s!!!!!!!

Are you still on the Wonder??

I was when I wrote that comment. Now I'm not. But that's OK, we're onto another fun chapter. I'm heading down to Happy Hour at the Embassy Suites Ft. Lauderdale. I think a lot of my friends from around the country are down there, and if they're not my friends, they will be by the end of the weekend!

 

[eandesmom]

Ugh ugh and ugh, Vegas over thanksgiving, tournaments over thanksgiving and driving alone to Vegas. 3 major ughs. No chance Joshua could just ride with another family and you sit this one out?

Doesn't it though?! Hopefully I can find one.​

Did you make friends? I love ES Happy Hour. And their free breakfast is always good too.​

I thought about that but there's not a viable family with room reeally. All of his teammates have 3-4 siblings with the player being the oldest so they bring their entire family to the tournament. Some of them count these as their family vacations as well. I hinted to him about maybe going with so and so, to get a feel for what he thought, and his first words were: without you? He's still a momma's boy at heart. I asked my friend but she's working some extra shifts at a local hotel for holiday money. Totally understandable. I though about my FIL but he's 87 and can't help with driving and his gait is becoming a little unsteady. Hate for him to naviagte under any bad weather.

I priced out flights and found $59 pp out there. The issue is that we don't know if they'll play Sunday or not so flights home are up in the air. I also thought about flying out and renting a car to drive back but wow, the car companies charge alot when dropping off at a different location.

I'm trying to resign myself to a fun road trip with him and praying for nothing but clear roads. I told him if we wake up to snow Thanksgiving morning we won't be going.​

 

[franandaj]

Yikes! I never think about snow that's brutal! I guess when you go with kids you don't get to have the fun time of sitting at the tables and gambling.

I hope it works out for you!

Thanks friend. Vegas for soccer is like the antithesis of Vegas fun. We stay near the fields which is great so we don't have to wrestle with Vegas traffic but once the games are over during the day, it's uber boring at night. Even when we do team dinners, there's like maybe two of us and the coach that will get a drink. I'll go and it'll be great, as long as it doesn't snow. Like I said, if we wake up to snow, we just won't go. I can't tell you how much I hate driving in the snow. Im about to see if one of Gabby's friends wants to go. LOL! I'm sure they'd love a free trip to Vegas. ​

I wouldn't drive in the snow either...its just not worth it. Too bad Joshua's soccer tournament isn't in Denver...I'd come hang out with you!

Getting some of the families to play outside of Utah is hard enough as there is Sunday play. Getting them to go somewhere where pot is legal? Vegas is only ok because we don't choose a Strip hotel. ​
