As mentioned in my previous post, I went to California (Palm Springs) during Thanksgiving Break!
The trip was a success. The team played well in the tournament (and as I mentioned before, it's also important for the girls to strut their stuff, because this tournament is a fantastic way to get recruited by the college coaches).
Other than going to Argentina with the field hockey team 2 years ago, I have never been off the East Coast before! It was really interesting to see the perceptions people have of New Jersey (haha) and see what life is like in another region of the US. A fun fact was that we saw the Norwegian Junior National Alpine Ski team on our plane. Our flight went from Newark to Washington DC to Denver to Palm Springs. The flight to Denver had the team on it, because (I didn't know this) that weekend was the Junior World Cup for Alpine Skiing.
Not only was it abnormally warm for this time of year... compared to New Jersey that is... but even the trees were much different! AND we flew over the Grand Canyon on our way home, HOW COOL!
I had a great time and came back with a little of a tan... life is good!
(something you'll never see in Hoboken haha)
