Day 3044

 I woke up a little after 8, dosed in bed for a while and then got up.  After breakfast an a little surfing I started the first leaving Texas activity.

I got out our leaving Texas itinerary for last year and used it as a template.  We decided to go the I10 route.  We're a little concerned about the weather in Wyoming, plus I want to see the Sphere in Las Vegas.  Then I went through the NSCA shoot list to see what shoots we might go to.

We decided to start out with a shoot in Brownwood TX.  The Texas state shoot starts too early.  We'll leave on the 26th and shoot a tournament there on the 27th.  After that we'll head for Tucson.  We'll just shoot practice there.  After that is a tournament in Mesa.  From there it's Las Vegas.

After Las Vegas we'll go to St. George.  There's a fun shoot there.  I wish it was a tournament.  From there it's three long days to Richland.  After Richland we'll stop for a day in Prineville before driving to Gervais.

Before we finished the plan we went to Dripping Springs.  We had three objectives.  The first was to pick up some custom Easter cookies.  I don't know when I became comfortable spending $35 on a dozen cookies.  They look really nice though.  After that we went to a place up RR12 a little ways.  It was great.  

The final stop was the sports complex.  We took Abby to the pond.  I didn't et her swimming, but I got close.  Again she showed an amazing determination to et sticks that were in deeper water.  We finished by taking a fairly long walk around the paths so Abby could dry off.  She covered an amazing amount of ground, both in the trees and in the open "cover" areas.

When we got home we finished up the travel plan.  Ellen started making reservations and I watched videos.  Of course I fell asleep.  Apparently the baby boomers are now in full force.  Richland is full because of the music festival.  The price in Las Vegas is really high, there must be something going on.  The park in Mesa is also full.   We decided to pay the Las Vegas price and Ellen found a place 10 miles from the club in Mesa.  We're hoping for a cancellation in Richland.

Dinner was leftovers.  After dinner was more videos.
