ITS GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!

Just back from an awesome weekend in Jacksonville! Go GATORS!! Mark and I got in Friday night in time to meet everyone out for a great meal at the Verandah. Went back to Tommy and Michelle's condo for a few hours but had to make it an earlier night than normal with the big day ahead of us!












Up with the sun (well what sun there was) on Saturday ready to go watch the gators play! Headed over to Aunt Angie and Uncle Vic's for bloody's and mimosas then hopped on the limo bus and we were on our way. Hit some crazy traffic on our way in so we were blessed with the repeated view of people jumping out of their cars to make a little tinkle tinkle along the interstate. Gross but kind of funny to watch. Several Vodka Frescas later (Hey-How bout a Fresca?) we arrived to get in a good hour or so of tailgating. Nothing beats Zaxby's chicken and Pimento Cheese sandwiches!!


Made our way into the stadium... had to keep cover on Uncle Vic... didn't want them to spot the flask of Brandy hidden in his sock. :) Made the plan to each take one pull off the flask after every score. Well darnit if we didn't run out at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Too many touchdowns for one flask! Whodda thought we'd need 7 swigs each! And really we could add the GA touchdown into that number as well. Considering there were only gator fans left to cheer them on to their only TD of the game.


Headed home shortly after and with one quick pit stop on A1A (I won't be posting those pictures :) we were back in Amelia and in bed surprisingly early.


Long drive home but it was so worth it. Especially passing those UGA fans doing the drive of shame home on 95!
