We've been on this bus for 30 hours and in no way is that depressing. We've crossed 6 states, watched 9 movies, eaten 17 boxes of pizza that still remain on the bus, downed 4 coolers of liquids, played 11 different obnoxious games, sang songs, "rocked" the bus (literally), and even stopped for a team snapshot at the California state line.
As the sun went down and we neared the Francescon household, a stench crept onto the bus. After remaining for 5 minutes without reprieve, we concluded the awful stench had to be Governor Schwarzenegger's B.O.
Our large bus FINALLY rolled into a cul-de-sac where the Francescon family greeted us excitedly. They had even made a huge sign on their garage reading, "Welcome to California Lady Ravens!" We ate a delicious home cooked meal which was a treat after packaged snacks and pizza. All the girls loved the Italian meal, as evidenced by Kim Minnick's exclamation, "The sausage was good!"
After dinner we went absolutely bonkers, releasing some extremely pent up energy. This involved a rousing game of tether ball, knockout, scooters, hula hooping, and even running around the yard with their dog Rocky. It was absolutely necessary!
An enormous THANK YOU to the entire Francescon family! We felt so welcome and it couldn't have been better.
We're now settled at the hotel ready to get a good night sleep. You stay classy San Diego!

You ladies are awesome. I will be being your superfan all the way over here in Atchi. I wish you girls the best of luck. I know you all can do it. Love you gals.
I hope you're going to the beach tomorrow--do you know which one?
My daughter, a freshman this year at BC, graduated from a small Catholic school here in San Marcos. My other 3 kids still go there. Would any of the team like to stop by and talk to our seniors about the school? If so, our principal, Miss Carol Kewell, would love to hear from you.
