As I post this, I’m realizing that I never gave any intro as to where we’re headed this week.  To keep in brief, this is the real last tournament of the year—Nationals.  My sister will be competing in several events; the rest of us attend as cheerleaders.  Here’s the first blog post of the trip:

Howdy, y’all!  Today’s travels finds the Maisano group in Nashville, Tennessee, visiting with friends and having a wonderful time.  Later this evening we’ll arrive in Greenville.  A few pictures from our journey thus far…

Apparently, some people thought the temperature in the car was a bit chilly.

We took a break at a rest stop in Arkansas.  Hurrah for finally making it out of Texas!

We saw a tank on the road…

…which thrilled certain members of the group.

Oh, look.  A self-portrait.

Staying with long-time family friends, and wonderful hosts.  Dinner was amazing.

Toni’s favorite was the ice tea.

We had some entertainment…

…and then we stopped taking pictures in favor of more interesting activities.  Sorry.  Now it’s onward to South Carolina…
