The CK Daily – Lost Cats, Jousting Acts & Regional Recaps
Happy Monday!
Happy to report our cat returned from his vacation unscathed after 3 days! He doesn’t seem eager to go back out again and has been happily loafing around as cats do. Spring break has been very busy this year for the kids. One of my friends that I met playing the Pokémon card game happens to be a falconer at Medieval Times, and we went to see him perform. I was a little nervous that our kids wouldn’t enjoy the show, but the kids loved it and had a blast. If you haven’t seen a show, try it out if you’re into jousting, horsemanship, eating food with your hands, and great entertainment! The kids also saw the Minecraft movie later in the week which they enjoyed and my oldest daughter got inspired to play Minecraft once again.
This past weekend was the craziest weekend where we attended the Atlanta Pokémon Regional tournament, and it was one of the largest tournaments Pokémon has hosted. There were thousands of people enjoying the hobby. I didn’t fare so well in the card game, winning 1 my first, losing my second, and winning my third, and then losing two consecutive rounds at the end. If you lose more than twice you are out of day two contention, which is really difficult to make. Out of our 15-person North Atlanta local crew, only one made day 2! We were happy with our experience though and had fun playing the side events afterwards. My daughter loved playing the side events and experiencing the regional as well. It was a very long weekend, full of travelling, getting up early to get to the Georgia World Congress Center, and walking at least 15 miles over the weekend! If you are into Pokémon, I highly recommend going to a Pokémon regional if there’s one near you, even as a spectator, you’ll have lots of fun.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
