A Weekend in the Capital

High Comp soccer puts some serious mileage on the car.  Over the past seven months, Clara has played in a dozen or so different cities at various distances from home.  This weekend, we wrapped up the season with the State Cup Tournament in Sacramento, complete with a two-night hotel stay.  Chad does a lot of traveling, so hotels are old hat to him, but the kids and I tend to get a bit giddy when we check out the room.  And it makes us do silly things like take pictures of ourselves in the mirror:

A bit of downtime between games allowed Rocky Raccoon (who had forgotten his book at home) to get in a bit of reading:

Trevor shared his reading material with the schlepped-along siblings at the tourney:

And later on, Trevi continued to read about Energy, even as he was running out of it:

The girls played hard, but, in the end, didn't advance to the finals next weekend in Manteca –yes, "Lard", I know–  (Yay for sleeping in next weekend and not falling behind on laundry!) Trophy or not, this was a championship season.  I won't be buying a Soccer Mom bumper sticker or anything, but (shhhhh) I definitely am one.
