Soccer Fever

Frank and I spent this past weekend in Richmond at the Richmond Cup soccer tournament – And I have to admit, after knowing Frank for over 5 years, his love of the game is actually rubbing off on me. The weekend wasn’t all that bad! I only caught 3 games on Saturday – I snuck away for a good part of the afternoon and walked the streets of Carytown – a cute stretch in downtown Richmond that’s lined with over 300 shops. I enjoyed a great lunch outside from a local deli and got to meet up with my good friend, Laura, and her husband for coffee. On Sunday, being the dedicated soccer wife that I am, I spent the whole day at the fields – for a total of 5 games! Both of Frank’s teams did phenomenal – The Inferno ended up bringing home 1st Place medals with a 4-0 record; The Firestorm’s 3rd Place standing was very heartbreaking since they also finished undefeated – A devastating last minute tie sent their opponent to the finals even though they whole-heartedly deserved the win. The poor kids were in tears at the end of the game – And the coach was quite upset as well. All in all – each team played their hearts out and had a fun weekend in Richmond…Not too bad of a way to spend Labor Day weekend!
