This is what Sundays used to look like

Been there done that............. doing it again this summer. We have one more year of summer travel ball and we can't wait!!

Ahhhh. Miss those days.

My daughter told me the first time she got on the college (softball) team bus she sat down and thought of all the rides and time we spent in the car together. She’s thirty-three now. I still smile and my eyes start to water when I think of this and/or post this.

I believe I understood my daughter and knew more about what was going on with her growing up than non sports dads due to the rides and discussions.

My allergies are acting up...

I don't think my kid ever slept while I drove... I sure hope my driving wasn't the issue... I do miss weekend tournaments and taking photos, it goes so fast... https://www.flickr.com/photos/...s/72157652113753909/

Thanks for sharing the photo journey.  That was awesome

@danj - tell your son to get a cheap pillow or neck roll and throw (blanket) for those bus trips!  My son may have gotten teased a bit, but he learned to sleep well on trips.  Then the other players got on board with it!

Nice wheels.

SO not necessary in my son's case.  I'm embarrassed by some of the places he's able to sleep in.  In that 2nd pic I posted note the UNFINISHED sub sandwich sitting in his lap.  It's nothing short of a miracle that sandwich wasn't devoured prior to the him crashing.  If there wasn't photographic evidence of it, no one who knows him would believe it.

Some of the best times were when we had teammates crashing in the hotel room with us. Detour trips to Disney/Universal on the way home.
