DC and Volleyball

This past weekend I went to Washington DC with my 17's volleyball team! We played in a tournament called the Capitol Hill Classic! One of my absolute favorite tournaments! First I got to rent a car, so I was super excited about that because I don't have a car so having a car to drive the whole time while I was gone was so much fun! I hated giving it back! Anyways on to volleyball! My girls are pretty darn good! I coach with a guy that knows so much about volleyball and the girls have learned so much from him!
My favorite of the three days was Sunday! Each big tournament always has a "Dig Pink" day, where all the teams celebrate and remember the loved ones we have or we have lost to cancer! Our team had awesome pink shirts to wear!

We went undefeated all day Saturday and all day Sunday! We made it to the semi finals on Monday and lost. It was a heart break, but it was a fantastic weekend. Our girls played sooo well and I couldn't be any more proud of them!!

So we tied for 3rd! (with our other 17's team from the same club) out of I believe 64 teams!!

By the end of the day we were all so tired of taking pictures and so ready to go home!! I think that this picture shows that so well!

One thing I know me and Mike were especially proud of was that one of our awesome middle hitters, Kaitlyn, got an outstanding award. She was awarded Best Attacker! So we were really excited for her! She definitely earned that one!

We didn't do just volleyball while we were there; some of the girls went down early Friday and went to all the monuments and the White House. Well I really wanted to go to Georgetown Cupcakes. Better known as the TV show DC Cupcakes! So Sunday afternoon, after we played, we took the subway and walked to Georgetown Cupcakes!!

We finally made it!! We were all so excited! Except the line was wrapped around the building!

Someone said it was going to be about an hour wait to get our cupcakes, and we definitely didn't care! We got in the back of the line and waited! Well it only took about 40 minutes! Which sounds so crazy! But I'm telling you, if you tried one of these cupcakes you would wait too!

These are all my girls that waiting in line for about 40 minutes!! Love them!!

It was such a wonderful weekend! With such an awesome outcome! Can't wait for the next big one! I love you girls so much!
