Montgomery hosts the Blue-gray National Tennis Classic each year. It is a great weekend of Collegiate Tennis each year, and the teams are hosted by families here in Montgomery. The hosts provide a bed-and-breakfast for the players in their house. We have said for years we wanted to host, but every year we just put it off. This year JM and I decided it was just not going to get any less hectic or easier to commit to this, so we jumped on board. We decided to host a mens team since Tyler would enjoy meeting the players and coaches. We were given the Princeton Men's Team, and it was one of the most enjoyable weekends. The boys were extremely polite, and they interacted well with my kids. Our 2 boys were from Canada and New Zealand. They shared with us about their high school tennis experiences and college experiences. Being that they are Princeton students, these boys were very smart and listening to them talk about their college projects was fascinating!
We went out to the tournament everyday to cheer for them. They were great players, but this was not their tournament to win. Maybe next year! Lauren, Lyndsey, and Colleen participated in the kids' clinic on Saturday morning. It was a morning of tennis basics, fun games, and prizes!
Saturday night, we hosted the team pasta dinner at our house. The house was packed with the team and host families, and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Dan & Flo were so much fun to have in our home this weekend. We are so excited that Princeton will be coming back next year for the Blue-Gray, and we hope we get to host them again!
