Today was our last morning in sunny Miami and there were
plenty of long faces as we packed up our stuff and headed to the bus to begin
our travel to Wisconsin for our game against Marquette on Thursday.
There were sooo many fun moments from our trip to Miami.
First off, we had the best bus driver, Carl. He provided lots of funny moments
and a few not so funny ones as we got stuck in traffic, LOTS of traffic,
heading to practice and then there was the infamous scenic route around Dolphin
Mall trying to get to the highway! Carl, you’ve earned a spot in our hearts and
it also doesn’t help that you told us we’re better than the other team he
drives … The Miami Heat!
There was lots of time for team bonding, but none more
exciting than the team dinner that the kids cooked for us. The spread consisted
of chicken, pasta, salad and vegetables. I have to admit when I saw the angel
hair pasta I was a little worried (I found out later that the kids forgot the
olive oil, leading to the “clumping”), but the food was good and Abbey even
made Funfetti cupcakes for dessert.
There were numerous trips to the beach and the pool in
between practices and we even had a group wake up to see the sunrise over
beautiful Miami Beach (see picture).
We knew that we couldn’t stay in Miami forever and it was
only fitting that a snow storm is heading towards us here in Milwaukee (go
figure!), but I have to say spending time with this group was a lot of fun.
As we all head our separate ways after tomorrow’s game, I
think we’ll all miss Miami, but the memories (and some photos!) are priceless.
Until next time,
Jess Poole
