It was pretty cool to see how another school does game day, and especially a school that I applied to and seriously considered going to. After this weekend I think its safe to say that I made the right choice in becoming a Gamecock. At Georgia the stadium is located on campus so tailgating occurs on the quads and on other parts of campus. This is something I'm used to after spending my weekends as a kid going to UNC-CH football games, but its definitely a different experience after tailgating off campus these past couple of years.
I have to say I really love Athens's downtown area. There are so many cute shops and its just a whole different world from Five Points. One thing Athens is lacking though is numerous brunch spots. The girls and I were determined to find a place for pancakes and french toast Sunday morning and it made us miss Cafe Strudel and Gourmet Shop after the first few places we went to were a bust but we did find pancakes finally!
All in all it was the perfect road trip weekend and I got to spend lots of quality time with my big which I missed this summer, plus we had perfect seats for watching the game!

Amazing view from our seats. Well worth the money.

We finally got our pancakes at Mayflower Restaurant and I didn't let any go to waste.
This past Sunday was also 9/11.
10 years ago on this day I was sitting in my history class when the news was broken to us about what was happening. I will never forget the moment I heard our country was under attack. Living in a military town I am constantly surrounded by men and women fighting for our freedom and I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may all life free.
We will never forget...
Sunday was also my aunt's birthday so Happy Birthday Aunt Kay!
The big 4-1
