Arena Football & Road Trips


Our athletic trainer (Julie’s) boyfriend plays arena football for the Reading Express. I think most of us had never been to an arena football game before, so it was pretty cool. It’s a lot faster than regular football which keeps it entertaining. The field looks so tiny though, especially with the bigger players like Julie’s boy who’s like 6’9”! After the game we got to go on the field and meet him.

For most of our road trips we drive cars, with the exception of Chicago and Rockford. My road trip buddies were my roomie, of course and Teague (aka Mom). The first and most essential stop in all road trips was for coffee. Mom couldn’t have said it better in her text message: “We are leaving at 6am sharp. We will make a stop at Dunkin as soon as we leave.” I can guarantee you our car was the most fun… I mean, who else had road trip hats?! Exactly.
