to compete at??

Mine is probably the St. Louis Classic.. I always seem to do my best at that meet.. :)
 
Probably the Sweetheart Invitational at NC State or the Hang 10.0 Invitational at Port City Gymnastics.
 
Dd says her favorite is the Climb High Meet at Dynamats in Williamsport, PA
 
omgosh i loved the st. louis classic!!! i went to that this year in feb. and everyone was soooo nice!
 
My gym's home meet... just because we have so much fun & always do something special, like a dance while the judges tabulate scores!
 
My favorite meet is propbably ymca nationals. We always have fun as a team and I usually do my best there.
 
I have to agree with others my favorite are St Louis Classic and second favorite would be Chicago...mainly for the fun nights in the hotel tumbling down the halway with team mates... and the random people staring at us while walking through Navy Pier in our Shiny outfits haha. But Classic is close to home and just an all around fun place, and you meet a lot of people if your paired with them. Its a low key big meet which is cool!!
 
We didn't do too many travel meets, but I always enjoyed the Colorado Gymnastic Institute's "Denver Winterfest" Meet. They held it at the University of Denver, which has a great gym team (DD did summer camps there) and gorgeous facilities. It was always well run and organized and over the years more out of state teams came. If you're from out of state Denver is a great town to visit, even in the winter the weather can be in the 70s and the mountains are close for a visit.

The Lady Luck Invitational in Las Vegas was a lot of fun as I remember. It's held a hotel/casino which can be fun for the girls and parents alike.

In 2004 JO Nationals were in Florida and I was able to go with DD. It was a lot of fun. (I base meets on how well they're run- I hate sitting there for hours while they figure things out- and how nice the location is, that's the extent of my gym mom-ness!) I was bummed I missed joining DD to Nationals in 2005 in California. Nice warm places! 2003 Westerns were in St. Paul... nice place but... not a nice vacation spot.

I guess all our money went to traveling to gym meets so any we could turn into mini family vacations were best!
 
So far DD says her favorite away meet was the Classic Rock Invitational @ Cardinal stadium in Az. She was so excited to compete in such a huge venue! The whole trip was fun and the meet to me was run well. It was also our first really far meet. Next is any home meet :)
 
We went to the Great West Gym Fest a few times. It's in Idaho, I forget where specifically. It was really fun and I liked competing outside of a gym! Kind of crazy though. They always had a dance party!

I second the Denver Winterfest. It's at the DU college gym (where I wanted a scholarship sooooo bad, but oh well!) and it's just a really well run meet. I got my best bars score there.
