New Years Bowling

Happy New Year!
We hope everyone rang in the new year in a fun and safe fashion. As for us, Jim and I traveled to Florida on New Years Eve to attend Michigan State's bowl game. We spent New Years Eve at a Japanese restaurant in Orlando with my friend Michelle and her boys, who were also in town for the game. It was a quick trip and a brutal loss for the Spartans, but still well worth it.

Here we are outside the game for our makeshift tailgate. We met up with some fellow Spartan tailgaters while there. I finally got a shot of Brian's famous cigar!

 Here is the home of the Capitol One Bowl in Florida, where we played Alabama.

We ended up losing 49-7. It was never close! On a good note, we got awesome seats on the 30 yard line about 10 rows up. We have our friend Jerry to thank for that. Oh, and did I mention the weather could not have been better.  Bowl game recap: The national anthem still gets me teary eyed, the flyover still gives me chills, and win or lose, I still love my Spartans!

And on another good note, we had just enough time to day trip over to Clearwater beach and have dinner with my good friend Nancy and her husband Gene on the way back. We shared some good stories and laughs. With them being in Florida, any chance to see them is a treat!


Thanks to Jim for planning and taking care of all the little details for our New Years getaway!
