Fireworks weekend

We kicked off the weekend going to the Seussical Jr show at Tidewater. Good times, posted separately.

Then Cool Chris did a tournament this weekend. We split a pair of games in Upper Marlboro (Largo High School) on Saturday. Because of the lighting, I didn't think the pictures would turn out so well (they didn't), so I didn't take many. My best offering:



So besides going to Upper Marlboro (Largo High) for a pair of games, we joined up for a fireworks festival in Jacksonville. I know what you must be thinking. What would it look like to take pictures of fireworks? I wondered that very same thing, since the camera I use has a fireworks setting. Turns out the look something like this.



But the fun doesn't stop there. After church (it was my week for music, more on that later) we took off for day 2 of the tournament. The tournament in Upper Marlboro, you ask? Yes, and no. Day 2 of the tourney put the boys in Fairfax at Paul VI High School. We only had one game, maybe best to leave it at that. After the game, we put Chris and a pair of his teammates in the van and headed home. Somewhere along the way we got distracted, and found ourselves ordering cheesesteaks at Pats in Philadelphia. No, it really isn't on the way home, but sometimes you just need a good cheesesteak. Laura and I both got a cheese-wiz wit, and Chris got an American witout (that's wit(h) or witout onions...) Chris and I went back to split another Cheese Whiz without. Then we went home and played some doubles tennis. LB and I played Chris and Josh. Scoring 7-6 (CB), 6-3 (LB), 2-0 (CB) . By agreement, that meant Chris and Josh took the match. No pics of tournament day 2, Cheesesteaks, or tennis.

Tomorrow: orientation at Shenandoah...
