Cole and I were in California for MLS NEXT Fest. First stop on the way was In-N-Out. So good. The U19 and U16 teams stayed at the Marquis Villas. Just check out our room. So funny. We had a huge bathroom, kitchen and comfortable beds. Plus the most amazing views from our balcony. That first night, we stopped at the grocery store and ended up making pasta. We were so tired so it was perfect. The next morning was an early game, and the fields were about 35 minutes away in Indio at the Empire Polo Club so we were up bright and early. The facility was insane though. Super impressive. And while the team didn't win, they had a great game. Unfortunately, Cole ended up straining his hip that first game and could barely walk the rest of the day. He made it through the weekend, but not at 100%. Hopefully a little rest will help. Anyhow, since the game was early, we picked up sandwiches at Sherman's and hightailed it to Joshua Tree National Park. I cannot stop thinking about it. What an amazing place. What a great day.
