KC, NC, and NYC

Can we get in three locations within one week?  Of course.

Kansas City
Don's bucket list has always included attending a game at Kansas.  This was the perfect year to do that as our USAB player Josh Jackson is a freshman there. So on Friday evening, February 23 we flew out of Denver to Kansas City.   We had a great time with LJ and Jana Goolsby - eating out Saturday evening and going to the Kansas bb game on Monday with them.  Sunday we went to nephew Matt's house for lunch of KC BBQ.  Nephew Josh and family came over too.  Don was invited to attend Kansas' shoot around on Monday afternoon and then the game from the third row center court in the evening.  What a great place for a game.

Raleigh, NC
Tuesday, February 28 we take an early flight to Raleigh, North Carolina to see a Duke game.  What fun to sit right behind the Duke bench and watch USAB players Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles play.

New York City
A very early flight Wednesday morning take us to New York City where Don was due to hold a USAB coaching academy. Wednesday evening we enjoyed an Italian restaurant and Miss Saigon!  Thursday before leaving NYC we took a two hour bus tour of the city and ended with a traditional deli meal.
