I left on Thursday in the morning at 8 30 and it was brutal. Waking up that early to catch the flight was really annoying but we made it. I flew with my mom, Kelly, and Danielle. When we got on the plane, all three of us were so uncomfortable that we tried sleeping in so many positions. In the end, Danielle ended up sleeping on the floor of the plane, while I slept against the wall and Kelly slept on me.
Unfortunately, it was a connecting flight so we had to get off in North Carolina. The airport in North Carolina was really pretty although we were only there for about 30 minutes. We ended up getting pizza and running on the plane to eat it.
Finally we got to Texas and we checked into the hotel. The hotel we stayed in the first night is the same hotel World Cup was staying at and it was beautiful! It was so nice that we ended up going to the gym and working out.
After running and doing abs, we took a shower and went out to the marketplace and restaurant area near our hotel. Unfortunately, there were not many stores, we went to Fridays to eat some food and walked to CVS to get some things we forgot to pack.
When we got back to the hotel, we wanted to go to the gym one more time but we were so tired, we took a power nap. The power nap ended up becoming a 14 hour sleep not waking up till the next morning at 9 30.
The next morning, we woke up and got ready to go the Dallas Aquarium. All three of us love aquariums and we though it was going to be a normal one but, it ended up being one of the best aquariums I have been to. I was really excited to see the sharks and the otters because they are my favorite sea animals. It was a three story aquarium with some animals not found in the ocean such as a leopard and tree kangaroos.
After the aquarium, we moved into the new hotel and got ready for practice that we had that night. We didn't exactly want to go to practice but we knew we had to. The practice ended up being one of our best practices and the head supervisor at our gym had tears in her eyes. She was so proud since we tried so hard in that practice. Also, before practice each panther member was paired up with a cub girl (little sisters). I was paired with someone who I started coaching four years. I love her and she was so cute!
I saw my old cheer coach that I have had for 5 years and taught my everything. It was great to see him and he actually staying at our hotel so it was really nice. We talked about how much I have grown up since he coached me and how proud he was of me.
