FSU football season has officially begun! Unfortunately the Seminoles don't have a lot of their starters for the first few games, but that didn't stop us from having a great weekend and tailgate on Saturday!
We met up with Rick, Joanne, Jamela and Tim at DownTown GetDown Friday evening. It was a nice way to kick off the football weekend and the weather was warm, but not too bad.
After GetDown, we joined the Rick, Joanne, Tim and Megan for dinner. Hadn't seen the kids since their wedding. They were very excited to be back in Tallahassee for a football weekend!
The Seminoles played Western Carolina and we had about 20 people for tailgating! Frank and Rick made arrangements for Frank's brother Ray to get the spot next to us and after shifting things around a bit, we were able to set up the middle spot as Tailgate Central. We had nearly everything we needed for a great tailgate...except an air conditioner! It was SO HOT!! But in typical fashion, we had fantastic food and lots of fun. (We were hoping the 10% chance of rain that came would cool things down, but unfortunately just steamed up!) In spite of the heat and humidity, it was a lot of fun having so many people participate in the festivities.
We get into the stadium and find the game was delayed an hour because of lightning. Finally it started and 5 minutes into the first quarter, the players were called off the field due to more lightning. Fortunately the Seminoles ran the kick back for a touchdown before they had to go in. And then the rains came. Fortunately, we had our ponchos, but decided to head under the stadium anyway. An hour later and they were able to resume the game. A few more plays (and touchdowns) and we went down below because of more rain and thunder.
A game that normally takes about 3 hours took 6 but ended with a final score of 69-0!
