This past weekend Mitch and I drove to Pasadena, CA for the DCI World Championships at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Traffic was great and we made the trip in under four hours. We got to see the top 12 corps perform on Saturday night. Unfortunately, Mitch's corps, The Cadets, took second place. He's sure it was a scam because the corps that won (The Blue Devils) were from California.
For the first time in almost 13 months -- we were alone for over 24 hours. It was great! I was not nearly as Ella-sick as I thought I would be. Ella was great for Aunt Michelle. She only cried once -- when we got home and Aunt Michelle left (no joke).
Here we are at the Rose Bowl Stadium. It was a hallowed moment for me. Let us take a moment to appreciate......
Our favorite show of the evening was performed by Carolina Crown and it was titled "Triple Crown" (it was a horse show). 
And here are The Cadets
Last but not least, we had lunch at Chick Fil-A. We miss our Chick Fil-A!
Next year's finals are in Indianapolis. Mitch wants to know how far a drive that is from Scottville....

7 Thoughts From Others:
Well, someone should tell Mitch that their are closer airports than Scottville to Indiana. (I know he is not from the area, but buy the kid a map or something, would ya?) Anyway, Indy is driving distance from here so you should probably plan a few extra boys at the drum party.
Our baby-sitter is in Scottville. :-)
Perhaps Mitch might have the Spring Arbor University or Ludington High School Band jobs by then, right? That is, IF the KC jobs fall through!
I definitely took a moment to relish in your trip to the rose bowl!!!!! Ahhhh..someday I'll make it to the game! :) Hope you had a good time. Can't wait to hear about it!
Jen -- you are only about 5 hours drive away, now!!!
Yeah - but it's a matter of getting tickets to the game!!! But it might be fun to go watch the rose parade even if I can't get tickets!
