Caps Road Trip Day 3

After last night's loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, we went back to the hotel, then went out to grab a bite to eat and analyze the game in depth. We drove around Raleigh looking for some place different, and ended up heading back to Applebee's which we were at the day before for lunch. We got back to the hotel, and it seemed the place was much busier than it had been the previous two nights. Unfortunately this meant that there were several drunken noisy neighbors on our floor last night, and they kept us awake until after 4:00 this morning. Needless to say We didn't get as much sleep as we would have liked.

We hit the road around 10:30 this morning, and made good time, getting back home a little after 3:00, just in time to catch the end of the first period if today's game against the New Jersey Devils. The Caps played much better, for the entire 60 minutes, and 4:10 of overtime. Unfortunately we lost, but did pick up a point.

All in all it was a mixed review for the weeekend. We enjoyed it, got to see some of Raleigh on Friday in spite of the weather. Would have been better if the Caps won. But it was a nice 3-day getaway.
