DD has a level 8 meet about 3.5 hours away on a Friday. Report time 11:30am. Can't decide whether to go morning of, which will allow her to sleep in her own bed (she hates hotel beds night before a meet) and get a practice in the night before, but she will have to get up very early and then have a long drive. Or, we can go up after school on Thursday and skip practice, but be able to sleep in before meet. One other choice is to go for a short early pratice and then leave, but the downside of that is driving at night (husband and I don't do well with night driving). Also, that would get us in at around 10pm. Just curious as to opinions.
