Bucs game - great weather, fun tailgate, not so good game

We had been looking forward to another tailgate in Tampa.  Organization duties had been passed to John and Jay.  We rendezvoused down the street from the stadium so we could get into the lot together and be able to park next too each other.  (That plan worked fabulously!)

The day promised perfect football weather!  Cooler temperatures, a bit breezy but sunny.  Turned out to be too windy for the tent, but that didn't stop us from having a great tailgate!

Girls rule!  Tyler and I had so much fun at the tailgate.  We both had our beads and had to get creative when finding toys.  (Note to self....a plate doesn't do so well as a frisbee when it's really windy.  But Koozies make great kid-sized footballs!)
The first tailgate in a LONG time where we actually sat down. 
The Tailgate Guys!

By the end of the tailgate, we had nearly another half dozen people that stopped by.
Snapped a picture of the flyover, from the parking lot.  (Another first....we weren't in our seats at kickoff!)
As mentioned, it was a great tailgate!  Ate well, met new friends and enjoyed the beautiful weather. 

Wish the stars had aligned for the Bucs.
