FOOTBALL SEASON!!

I am so excited for football season this year, and I am a little late on updating the trips we have had so far. Our first trip took us to Virginia to see USC vs. Virginia. After spending 9 hours in the car (not including the 6 hours we spent at a hotel) we watched the football game (we were there about 5 hours) and than we were heading back to Ohio. I told Andy from now on I want to spend AT LEAST the same amount of time at a destination as the round trip takes! Here is the picture from our seats. All I can say is at least USC won!


Our next traveling adventure was to LA to see the wonderful game against Ohio State. Andy reserved us a place at a tailgate party located in the basketball arena. $20 for all you can eat (but had to pay for drinks), we were there about 5 hours, so I definitely ate my $20 worth. Below is a sample of some of the food we ate.
We went to the game and it was really neat seeing all the same people as last year. Andy and I got out favorite Southern California football food: chicken and rice bowl with hot sauce. I think we talked about it the whole way to the game.
During halftime we were able to see a few famous people. Henry Winkler (the Fonz) walked by and waved to the crowd as everyone yelled "hey Fonz" I took a picture but it was a little blurry. Than this guy walked by and I thought it was Isaiah Thomas, but the girl next to me and I said that he looked too tall. However, the guy in front of us said that it was him. We did see Denzel Washington but unfortunately mom it was only on the jumbo tron.

The game, I think, proved who should be in the national championship with USC stomping over Ohio State. Hey, at least one of my teams can beat them! Andy is already talking about going to Miami in January.
