It's Football Season: USC vs Navy

This past weekend my husband and I and my mother and father-in-law traveled to Columbia SC to see the USC Gamecocks play the Navy Midshipman. Daniel (the hubs) and his dad have been Carolina fans for forever! Daniel says he remembers going hunting with his dad and grandpa as a kid and hearing them talk about The Gamecocks as they were coming home. Funny fact: Daniel graduated from Clemson University, USC's biggest rival. Moving on... We had a great time tailgating at the game! If you are familiar with South Carolina then you know that Columbia can be the hottest place on the face of the earth, but not on Saturday. It was so nice! It was about 70 degrees and perfect for a light jacket.


 What is it about tailgating food that makes it so delicious? We had steaks, grilled corn, baked potatoes, rotel chips and dip, and salads and it was amazing:) Oh and these awesome milk chocolate brownies that my mother-in-law made .. yummo. 

Onto the game..ok lets be serious I won't bore you with football talk, this is a girl blog..lol. But these are some pictures of the stadium and pregame stuff. If you've never heard 2001 played over the loud speakers when the Gamecocks run in you are missing out! It is so exciting!

We won the game, but it was super nerve racking! Post game I had to get pics of the in-laws at their first Carolina game 
and of course one more of me and the hubs (nice hair, right? lol)

All in all it was a great weekend with the family. Can't wait for the next one:)
With Love,
Emily
