Who knew I would ever be at The Final Four?
This is how we roll.
We arrived Friday on a direct & uneventful flight on Spirit airlines. Our first flight on this carrier and it went well. No guarantees on future travel.
I haven't been to Dallas for decades, but it Is Texas Big. We have been on shuttles to various venues and I have loved seeing the architecture and lots of public art.
Yesterday my wonderful and devoted husband got up before daylight to participate in the Northwestern Mutual NCAA 5K. No shuttle service to Fair Park so I had my plan to take public transportation. No surprise here if you have ever traveled with me. We asked the hotel driver if he could take us to the DART station to catch the green line. He just drove us to the park. Thank you!
Fair Park was wonderful. Built for the Texas Centennial in 1936, the park is now home to the Texas State Fair. Art Deco buildings and beautiful areas. It was a nice event and good exercise.
After lunch we boarded coaches-think Cinderella - at 1:30 to go to AT&T Stadium. There was a fan Tip Off Tailgate party. Alas, the weather didn't cooperate so we skipped that and entered the stadium.
The stadium is all that it is rumored to be. HUGE. We had access to VIP hospitality so all our needs and wants were met.
Sorry to see Florida lose, but UConn looked strong and smooth.
We helped out the Wisconsin crowd, but Kentucky hit that 3 pointer and Wisconsin missed their last attempt. Back to our hotel by midnight. Now we remember that we were up before dawn. Tired!
