Final Four

We spent weeks debating how to spend spring break. Iceland? - expired passports; New York? - too expensive to fly; The Ark? - not exciting enough; Chicago? - too cold. Texas? - perfect! We hit the road on Wednesday geared up for the 15 hour road trip to Texas Hill Country to see the NCAA Final Four games!

San Antonio is beautiful in spring! I had two wishes: see bluebonnets and eat Mexican food. I got to check both of them off of my list - and then some!

Our seats were so far up that we couldn’t hear the ref’s whistle and I got dizzy if I stood up too quickly! The seats were scrunched together so tightly that I couldn’t stretch. And Keagan got a headache from all of the noise. But we got to see the final four games! 





We stumbled upon Fan Fest at the convention center prior to the game and debated whether it was worth the ticket price. The smiles in this picture say it was worth it!



The boys got to meet David Robinson of the Spurs!



Then we got lucky and got an autograph from Tony Parker of the Spurs. The guy had spent an hour doing nothing but signing his name - over and over. Keagan put his hand out and offered to shake his hand. It took Tony by surprise, but he obliged.



Now if we had just had phones that could keep a charge so we could take a few pictures with a flash! Although we were hoping for a Cinderella win, Loyola lost in the last few minutes. However, in game two Villanova put on a clinic!

Tonight we get to watch the championship game at home in pajamas, in comfy chairs, and with a perfect view of the court!
