re: Just curious, how many first timers to Omaha this trip?

We watched the woman’s basketball for the whole tournament and my daughter wanted to drive and watch the championship and we didn’t. When they won the championship she said “see we could have been there and part of history”.
We were watching the WF game and when they pulled it out and won she said “dad let’s go we can’t miss history”.
I told her and the wife to find tickets for Sundays game and I would agree to go, they bought tickets at 1030pm Thursday and we left at noon Friday and drove to Joplin. We got up at 430am sat and rolled straight to the field and dropped them off at 10am and they got SRO for game one. Watched the blood bath on Sunday. Daughter stated “dad sorry we wasted the money on those tickets” I told her we pay for memory’s not wins and tomorrow was still a chance.
Monday was epic, I told them it was almost like a script for a movie. We did Rocco’s every day, watched the team walk out the hotel and the atmosphere was just electric.
She made me promise if they go again that we go.
