Gator Bowl

Well, what more is there to say than, "Go Dawgs!!" We were so proud to be in Jacksonville for the weekend. We had such a blast! First, a big thank you to RoRo and Grandpa for taking care of Morgan so we could go celebrate! We had a great group that traveled together and rented an amazing house two blocks from the beach! I could have stayed there for weeks, but there was much fun to be had!

New Year's Eve was a big day. The girls had a spa day while the boys watched football and played basketball at the house. That night we got dressed up, had a great dinner and headed out about town! We found a bar to ring in the new year that was just perfect for us! Our group commandeered a corner and had fun just dancing the night away!

The next morning we got up ready to cheer on our dawgs! We headed downtown and got to the stadium with cowbells in hand. What happened next was nothing short of perfection. Our dawgs beat the crap out of Michigan! We spent the whole game ringing those cowbells- I know those Michigan fans are hearing ringing bells in their nightmares now. My arm hurt for three days following the game! Kristin's mom (a Ohio State grad) taught us new words to the Michigan fight song too! We sang them loud so she would be proud! That night we ate more wonderful food and decided to celebrate at the house. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend!
