April 11-16 Dallas Volleyball Trip

 We left on Thursday headed to Dallas for Sammi's Volleyball tournament. Its another 3 day tournament. We typically stay at Hickory Creek Coe when we go to Dallas but they were closed for repairs till May1. I did a lot of looking and found a city park on Lake Lewisville which gave senior citizens a site for $10.00 a night with water/electric. Pretty good deal and it got decent reviews. Anyway we left that morning , my plan was to come in from the east side (we are actually north of Dallas) to keep from driving thru the middle of Dallas.  I changed my mind when  we were close and decided to hit 635 loop, it looked good at the time on my gps. By the time we got there the gps was screaming red and it was true. Terrible traffic to be pulling a trailer not knowing what lanes to be in . We made it and I swore that was the last time i was diving a trailer thru all tharf traffic.  The little city park was pretty nice. We had good lake views. The sites were a little close for me .  Friday we didn't do anything and I was able to relax all day. We had planned to visit Susans brother who lives close by in Frisco. They had come done with covid so no visits this trip. Saturday we headed to the convention center, we had the evening wave which I hate.  We got there plenty early but It took over an hour to find a parking spot.  Last weekend our team was in Salt Lake city for a three day tournament. They played well , made the gold bracket and ended 4th overall.  This weekend they were undefeated on Saturday and Sunday playing very well, went 7-0 and never lost a set. On Monday we lost our first game in the gold. The team that beat us won the tournament. We rested Monday and came home Tuesday. I took the long way home and had an easy drive.  Our next trip isn't till June as we are headed to Florida.
