I was planning on surprising my DD at her birthday this spring with tickets to US nationals. Its a week after her birthday. I found out Sat that one of her gym friends is going to Trials. She mentioned to my DD that she should join them. They already have tickets. She would be going without me and going with this mom and gym girl I like and another mom and DD who I do not like at all. My DD of course wants to go. She of course had no idea that I was planning on taking her to US Nationals. Which would be more fun to see and be at? Trials will cost a bit less but she will be gone longer since they will take 2 days to drive each way. Also it will only be the top 12ish gymnasts competing for spots. But it would definatley be exciting since they will anounnce the team. If we go to nationals I will go( I know not as cool as going with a friend). It would be a shorter time period since we would fly. But I was thinking it would be better since she will be able to see a bigger field of gymnasts and will also be able to watch the juniors compete. My DD loves the juniors and know who they all are. If it where you which do you think would be the better competions for her to see?
