It's all in the name of football!

Since the last post, we've been in Tallahassee, Boone, Amelia Island and back to Tampa.

After a sad game of the Seminoles losing to Wake Forest, we watch the Bucs beat the Chicago Bears in OT! The next morning, we loaded up the BDT and headed north to Boone.

While there, we checked on the status of the back yard project. Looking pretty good! Deck big enough for a dance party, space up the hill for a hammock and lots of new plants all around. We also spent time with Ray, Toby, Bob, Barbara and Don. It was a short but busy trip!

When we left Boone, it was 41 degrees! BRRRR! It got a little warmer as we headed south, but by the time we got to Amelia Island, it was only 76!

Rick & Joanne are wonderful hosts and we all had a great time at the pre-game party!

The group caravaned to pick up the game-day grub and then onto the Stadium where the Seminoles were playing the Colorado Buffalos. We ended up with about 30 people visiting our tailgate. Frank had the TV all set up (it seems to get easier and faster each time he sets it up), chairs in the 'living room'. Joanne had the bar stocked and lots of yummy snacks. And when the time was right, the BBQ from Smokey Bones!

It was an exciting game and the Seminoles played really well, winning the game!

After the game, we headed back to Tampa. We wanted a good night's sleep before another round of tailgating prior to the Bucs vs Packers game. A little hiccup for some people with the parking, but it all worked out well! John cooked some fantastic brats and Chris came through with the shots. And to cap off the day, the Bucs won! (Note to self: too many Jaeger Bombs and beers along with the lack of food, can lead to a really hurt toe.) (A picture will not be included.)

And in "honor" of Green Bay, we had cheesy snacks - Cheez Whiz on Cheetos!

A few quiet days at home and now we're getting ready to head south to cheer on the Seminoles in Miami.

All in all, a good football weekend!
