Week 1: Las Vegas, NV
We decided to make our soccer trips mini family trips where each of the kids would feel like our lives don't revolve around sports.
Our drive to Las Vegas got really long as we hit Mesquite and saw there was a 1 hr 45 minute delay due to traffic in a construction zone. By the time we walked into the Westgate, we were tired and hungry. Robert, one of the concierges at the Westgate, showed us to our room. While we were talking, my cell rang. Alyssa told me that Karina Pestana was on the line and it was an emergency. They had just come back from Mexico and ended up having a stomach bug so Karina and the other kids stayed home and Kylie and her dad, David, drove to Vegas. David started to get sick on the freeway and felt like passing out. He got off the freeway and got the car stopped on a 3 lane road and passed out with car flying around them. Kylie was able to move his leg to keep the car from rolling while she found the emergency lights and called 911. We were only 12 minutes away so we left the boys with Robert and went to the scene. Dave was able to talk to David in the ambulance. We followed them to the hospital and waited for David to be released at 2am. We got to bed at 3am. Gah!
Luckily, Alyssa had to play later that day. We spent the morning/early afternoon learning about ownership in Westgate etc. We were so tired we tried to nap just a little before the game. Alyssa played super well during both games!
We ate at Maggianos, hung out in our suite at the Westgate, enjoyed a Magic show, and mostly made memories together. What a great weekend!
