Across the country in 8 days

It's crazy where basketball has taken me.....places I would never go otherwise. Atlanta more times than I can count, California, New York City, Little Rock, and now Tampa and Spokane, WA. Last weekend we had a whirlwind trip to Tampa. The team lost in their first game to some random team from upstate New York. They don't know how to play basketball up there!! At least I got to get a tan (well, sort of) and to have my first Chipotle eating experience. It was way warm and sunny and amazing. Well, amazing minus two consecutive days of 5:30am departure times. I'm all about waking up early, but that's just taking it too far. I was also really bummed because we had purchased tickets to the Yankees-Blue Jays spring training game on Saturday. When the team lost, we had to head back to Nashville and we missed the game. That made the second weekend in a row that we lost on a Friday and I paid for tickets to a sporting event I wasn't able to attend. Awesome.

This weekend we are going to Spokane, Washington. If anyone has tips on things we can do there, we would appreciate them. We're having a difficult time figuring out what there is to do in this place. As of now, it looks like we're going to rent a car and drive to Idaho. Woo!! (?) It's going to be quite the long traveling experience....and I'm counting on a two and a half hour layover in the Seattle airport to catch the Memphis game. They'll be dealing with one upset girl if I miss that game. Especially when we were really supposed to leave this morning instead of tomorrow night. I'll update about Washington when we get back, which hopefully won't be until Monday (after the team makes it to the ELITE 8!).

Countdown to Opening Day: 3 days!!
