It's important to back out normal expenses (plus it makes me feel better). In other words, you would eat regardless if you are traveling. Sure it may be less costly. You would use some gas in a normal weekend, maybe not as much. Probably wouldn't fly or rent a car, but if this trip took the place of or was combined with a vacation, the total cost isn't a true cost. As for team fees, DD may be swimming, dancing or taking on some other activity (gym membership) if not for softball, so "savings" may not be realized. Again, it makes me feel better to look at it this way.
