Frank engineered the whole thing! Food was ordered and procured. A rendezvous spot and time was set and the departure time announced. We thought for sure it would be like herding butterflies (what with 15 vehicles and all) but everyone was there - early!
Rendezvous

The caravan begins!
We anticipated we would be able to park in the lot we usually park in for Bucs games. But it was full! Not to worry, the next lot had spots and the attendants accommodated all our cars. Thankfully we got a great spot right under a tree! Everyone helped - tents pitched, tables set up and dressed, chairs emptied from bags and within 20 minutes, food was on the table!
A Tampa-themed menu was in order - Cuban sandwiches, black beans, yellow rice, plantains and guava pastries.

Scenes from our tailgate area:
Yep, the only place in the entire state where it was raining - right over the stadium and our tailgate!
How many people can we fit under two tents??
Post-rain beer pong resumes.
The amazing group of almost 60 people gathered for the picture!
Cutest Nole girls!
Our motorhome mentors came to Tampa for the game:
Frank, Leann, Ron, Rob, Bonnie, Lynne and brother Richard
Here come the Seminoles!
Whew! It certainly wasn't the prettiest of wins!
And now for the home game. The Bucs were playing the Redskins on Sunday in Tampa. It's been quite a while since we've done a two-football-game weekend. Not sure how we used to do it - football game in Tallahassee on Saturday, get back to Tampa in time to tailgate 3 hours before kickoff.
Flyover. :o)
Less than 24 hours later, we were back in almost the same spot!
"Let Me Throw" Greg and Frank.
(You should see his throwback uniform!)
Thanks to the Holley's for hosting today's tailgate!

Precision landing!
Bring on the Bucs!
And so in this weekend of football games - the Indians won both.
