Ringing in a New Year with the Bulldogs

J and I were able to go to the Gator Bowl with some of our very best friends! Our friend Greg Sykes got us all tickets to go and we had a blast!!! On New Year's Eve, Greg, Frank and Andrea Haynes, J and I went to the most delicious dinner at Ruth's Chris. It was AMAZING and the setting was incredible as well. We were right on the river that runs through Jacksonville and it was beautiful!!! We enjoyed our yummy dinner and laughed alot!!! After dinner we headed to the MSU Alumni Association party. The lady that was taking up the money said that they expected about 2000 people...when we went through, there were already 6000 bulldogs in the River City Brewery. It was MADNESS!!! We danced a bit and then went to find a spot on the boardwalk to watch the fireworks. They looked great over the river!!!
1-1-11...We got up early and caught the river taxi from the hotel to the stadium. Even though we were in Jacksonville, it really felt like a home game! There were 2 Michigan people on our river taxi and the rest were cowbell ringing Dawgs. It was nuts and soooooooo fun!!!!


I love a fly over!!! I always tear up a little, and what's more...a bunch of men and women took the oath to join the Marines pregame too. That REALLY got me!
It was so loud!!! We had some amazing seats thanks to Greg. We felt like big dogs in the Touchdown Club. It was so nice!!!!
A little post game victory photo!! We had so much fun hanging out with Frank and Andrea. We really miss getting to see them since we moved from Jackson.
I love that we gave Michigan their worst bowl loss in history and it was also the most points MSU had scored in 11 years!!! DOMINATION!!!!!!


Thank you Jacksonville for an AWESOME trip! I look forward to coming back to visit soon!!!!
