Our Trip Home: 1st stop--the Plains


Our Little Tailgaters





Brian had a vacation week beginning September 16, and of course, our first stop, the Plains! I can't tell you how good it felt to see the "welcome to Alabama" signs on our drive into Auburn. However, we didn't realize the soaking we would soon experience at the football game the next night! Before the rains hit, we had a wonderful Saturday of tailgating with family and friends. The kids had a great time, but luckily, we had made plans for them to stay with my parents at Karen & Tim's house (that was a very smart decision). So Brian and I happily set off for the Auburn vs. West Virginia game (with poncho in hand), and to our dismay, sheets of rain began to fall soon after we settled into our section. The game was delayed and everyone was asked to evacuate, which was quite chaotic! We stood in the concourse for almost an hour with about every other fan in Jordan Hare--what fun! However, it was worth it because it finally stopped raining, and we were able to enjoy the game and come out with a win! War Eagle!
