Day two…Go MU…

We actually managed to wake up early enough to eat *free* hotel breakfast. Then we headed downtown to 4th street live, which is an amazing street blocked off to cars where they had big screen TVs set up, in between the bars, with live music and all that jazz. (It was St. Patrick ’s Day too.)

4th Street Live!

After lunch or should I say appetizers, which also involved beer pong, we headed to the team’s hotel to send them off.

One the way to the team sendoff I met one of the player’s (Jae Crowder) family…including Mom, Aunt, Nephew, Niece and Grandmother. It was so much fun to see everyone dressed up in their blue and gold!

Once we said farewell and good luck to all the players we headed towards the big screen on 4th street live. Ready for the MU game…which did not disappoint! Well done MU!

Celebrating MU's win!

I was pleasantly surprised by the city of Louisville, I had been through it previously but never quite took the time to look around, this wasn’t a bad trip as Marquette won and it made the drive and trip all worth it… given this was a 7 hour drive this was my longest drive to go watch Marquette play, however I have driven 4 hours before and seen them lose and let me tell you, that makes for a very LONG drive home…

Well dome MU!
