    After 700 miles 4 ball games and 500 bucks spent.

    We had a Great time at my Grandson’s AAU basketball tournament In Louisville. They had something like 30 courts set up in the KY Exposition center some really good basketball played. Grandson scored 15 points in one game. But we ran into a team from Chicago and they were really good. His team won 2 and lost 2. Great time

    That would have been quite a sight to see all those courts with games going on.

    It was for this old guy. Never seen so many basketball courts in on place. The young men looked like they were having a blast.

    Its definitely a sight to see, however when you do it every weekend for 3-4 months straight it wears off. Gas, hotels, dinning out, etc. Try it with multiple kids also. My daughters did volleyball. Most I have seen was 39 courts at once.

    Glad you had a good trip!
    There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.

    Sounds like an awesome trip with lots of sports activity to enjoy. I'd enjoy something like that, too.

    My neighbors have five kids involved in sports. They don’t get to travel as a family very often because they are going in so many different directions. I have no idea how they afford it. Now that the oldest daughter can drive they might have three tournaments a weekend in three separate cities.

    Its also a treat when you get to see some real talented kids. I always want to check some of their birth certificates just to make sure.
