We traveled to Raleigh NC with a teammate and his mom. His dad works for Holiday Inn so we either got comped rooms or greatly discounted rates which was the coolest ever! Aj loved th pillows :) He was so patient as I continually told him to fuel up and eat more, drink more on the way up.He had a great meet. He was able to earn a 7th place on the floor and 18th on the vault. They gave out medals to the 20th place. He was somewhere exactly in the middle on rings but had a rough time on high bar and parallel bars. Which put him exactly in the middle for over all rank. Not bad for his first time to regionals! the fact that he made it to this level is so cool! We stayed an extra day to watch the level 10 athletes compete, thats the top level. And that was sooo cool! AJ says e can see himself doing these moves in the future. I can see me having a heart attack! Its a tough sport, you only get 1 shot at it. anything goes wrong and there is no redo. But he loves to train and the sport so we'll see.
Afterward we walked around downtown Raleigh and saw the old State Capital which is beautiful and we got his picture with the statue listing the 3 Presidents that come from NC, 2 of which as Andrews!
The friends we drove with are Jewish and were still continuing the Passover diet restrictions until 5 pm Friday night so I got to learn a lot about that which I enjoyed. It was harder to stop for food, but they brought most of their stuff and just supplemented along the way. She wants to know a good kid type book that explains our church so their family can learn more, any ideas?
