Traci's Basketball Heaven

What a fabulous, fabulous weekend Traci got to have with her dad!!  We made it down to Durham with no problems to take in the Duke Blue Devils - Miami Hurricanes basketball game.  (Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Mike for making this happen!!!)  This was monumental to Traci for so many reasons:  finally getting to see her beloved Blue Devils in the House that K (Basically) Built, getting to spend a fun weekend with just her dad, and - for the first time in nearly a year - getting a quick breather from the kids.

Of course, I couldn't drive all the way down to North Carolina without stopping in to see my dear childhood friend, Katherine.  She just had a baby last November, so it was nice to hold a tiny, calm baby who I didn't have to change or feed!

As for the game itself, we had soooo much fun.  If you are a sports fan out there, I highly recommend trying to get to Cameron Indoor at least once in your lifetime, especially if K is still coach.  The atmosphere in the tiny arena is just ELECTRIC from beginning to end, especially if the home team wins a close one as they did last night.  My dad and I took in everything:  all of the decorations around the arena, the championship banners, the band music, the Cameron Crazies.  Definitely a trip that we'll remember forever!
