Saturday,the big day,has finally arrived!! Here’s the plan: Leave the hotel by 10am to arrive at our assigned parking/tail-gating spot by 11am,have bloody marys and snacks for an hour or so,and then walk to the Georgia tent for BBQ and an appearance by the REDCOAT Band. And finally go to the stadium around 2:30 for the BIG Game.
We arrived at our tailgating spot at 11:02 thanks to some brilliant driving by Lee through some mighty heavy traffic. Lee and Linda were very well prepared with a table complete with a Bulldog tablecloth and all the fixins for snacks and bloody marys.

The Georgia tent is along the St. Johns River where boaters have their own version of tailgating.



A floatation device for each person??!!
Off to the game! Until we walked to our seats we didn’t have any idea where our seats were. Imagine our surprise when we sat down 8 rows from the front at the 40 yard line,right behind the Bulldog bench!!!


Half the stadium red,half blue

What a great day, even though the Dawgs were humiliated 41 to 17. When the game clock showed 00:00, we walked back to the car for a post game glass of wine while the traffic thinned out. We were too hot and sweaty to go to a restaurant, so we went straight to the hotel for wonderful hot showers and pizza delivery. Thanks again to Linda & Lee for sharing this wonderful experience with us.
Tomorrow we say a temporary goodbye to Linda & Lee(we’ll see them in Athens for Homecoming next weekend) and move on to St. Augustine!
