NCAA Championship

Kristen and I had planned a trip to Houston and San Antonio a while back for this last weekend. It was a trip to go see her old stomping ground and her friend in Houston and then on to San Antonio to visit her parents. Her Aunt and Uncle were there and her brother and sister-in-law came up from Del Rio. It turns out that the NCAA Final Four and Championship games. This wasn't something we had planned on but it worked out to be good. Kristen's brother from Lawrence and his girlfriend ended up going to the games so they were down visiting for a while too. Her oldest brother ended up having extra tickets to Monday nights game so John and I went to the game. It was such a great choice.

I am a strong K-State fan and very much dislike cheering for KU. However, it was a necessity here. The game was awesome. As most of you know the game came down to a clutch 3 point shot clock that pulled KU up to tie Memphis. The game went into overtime and KU dominated the overtimewith 2-3 seconds left on the minutes. The excitement and atmosphere was awesome. It was a great time.

John and I didn't stay after the game for any of the special stuff or the crowds on the river walk. We headed home to bed. :)
