rome, georgia

reed only went to school for two days before we skipped out and went to rome, georgia.  his tennis team won state at the end of july, so we made the trip to sectionals.  it was at the rome tennis center at berry college, and it was an impressive place.  it's the largest hardcourt facility in the nation, so these little people felt pretty important!

waiting on his turn...



 parking lot warm up!


killing time...


this place was big enough to host multiple tournaments, so we got to see some good tennis in the 14s hardcourt nationals.









they had tennis bingo one night.  we weren't lucky enough to win any of the cool prizes, but that didn't stop us from trying!


this team finished 3rd.  it was determined by total games won, and they only missed first by a few games.  maybe next year!


 reed and i stopped at a cracker barrel on the way home.  he didn't get his competitive juices out during the weekend, so we had to play checkers while we waited for our food!


it was a good road trip with the littlest tennis player at my house.  hopefully, it won't be our last trip to rome!
