2010 USA/ASA Girls' Class A 12-Under Fast Pitch National Softball Tournament - Day #1 (Saturday)

Travel Day

While we were waiting to board the plane in Portland we had a nice surprise…..One of Paityn’s team member’s and her dad (one of the coach’s) showed up, they were also on our flight.

Paityn and I left Portland at 12:50 AM. We flew from Portland to Minneapolis, Minnesota. I thought that we would get plenty of sleep on the plane, but the plane was completely full…not one seat was open. Paityn was able to get a little sleep, but I didn’t get any. I was so tired……Once we arrived in Minneapolis we had a 3 ½ hour layover. Paityn and I walked around the airport for quite awhile to stay awake. Alyx ended up falling asleep on the chairs at our gate.

On the flight from Minneapolis to Cincinnati Paityn, Alyx, Rick, and I were all sitting in the same row. Paityn and I were on one side of the isle and Alyx and Rick wee on the other. We decided to put the girls on the isle seats so they could “chit chat”. I think I fell asleep before the plane took off and Paityn woke me up once we landed. The flight was only about 2 ½ hours long, but I slept the entire flight…..

We headed to the rental car place and off we went down the road driving to Bloomington, Indiana.

Once we arrived in Bloomington and checked into the hotel and I took a nap. Paityn went off running around and getting her bearings.

Paityn woke me from my nap and told me that it was time for dinner.

We (everyone that had arrived at the hotel) ended up going to Crackle Barrel. That is a local favorite and I heard it was a place to check out….I ended up having some fried okra and Paityn had chicken strips, surprise, surprise, surprise!!!!!

Once we came back to the hotel we all passed out for the night…..
