I know many of you have been checking my blog for our updates! I'm sorry it took me a little bit to recover from the trip! t was a long drive down to Hilton Head, South Carolina! It became even more difficult when Coach Constantine started to sing Springsteen songs. However, after over fifteen hours, we made it safe and sound! The condo we are staying in is gorgeous! It has four bedrooms with bathrooms so there are only two people in each room. There is also a large living room area, kitchen, and patio! After reaching Hilton Head we ate at Aunt Chiladas... Like enchiladas. (See picture)
Although it has been a little breezy, the weather has been wonderful with highs in the 60s and 70s. We used the first day our first practice outside! Random people sat and watched us. I guess it was pretty entertaining watching us run around, framing shots, and hitting balls over the fence. In other words, the transition from indoor courts to outdoor was a little rough. Afterward, Bree and Sarah headed out to the beach to play frisbee (Bree's really really great at frisbee) and Liv (Olivia), Jane, and Jackie sat and enjoyed the ocean. It was pasta night and I was amatuer chef! We enjoyed some garlic bread, salad, and pasta with alfredo or marinara sauce. For dessert Master Baker Bree made some fantastic apple pie from scratch! That night Bree, Jackie, Sarah, Marta, and I played PASSWORD (a guessing game Bree taught us) and then watched an old 80s movie called, About Last Night.
I was pretty happy about today's long five hour match against Carleton College. Even with Kelly sick and Liv injured, we managed to still grab three matches... Not bad for our first outdoor match. The sun was beautiful, but it was a little windy which was difficult to play. Nonetheless, everyone fought hard and learned some things for tomorrow's match.
Tonight Jackie and Sarah made some great hamburgers, hot dogs, and fruit salad for dinner! Everyone was pretty tired from all the sun and tennis so we are taking it easy tonight.
