Go State...







Yesterday afternoon Ian, Cailean, Pop-pop and I headed off to Carter-Finley to cheer on the Wolfpack as they hosted William & Mary in the home opener. I just might email the William & Mary head coach, so he can view these photos. I'm sure he would LOVE to see my grandfather sporting NCSU colors!!! hee hee Anyway...We met a bunch of my coworkers at the tailgate and then headed into the football complex for dinner and then were in our seats for the kickoff. It was Military Appreciation Day, so right before the team ran onto the field through the tunnel, 4 F-15 jets flew over the field...wow! That was incredible! Then, the fireworks went off and out ran the team. We watched the game from a little balcony looking down on the endzone. At the half, we went inside and my boss started drawing names for free giveaways. Well, Pop-pop won a nice pen/pencil set. Cailean won a new NCSU football hat and Ian also won the same hat as Cailean. We watched the 3rd quarter from inside and then headed back to the car at the start of the 4th. Pop-pop was VERY impressed with everything from the parking spot to the tailgate to the dinner to the seats to the military stuff to the gifts and so on and so on. But, not sure who was more excited about being at the game...my grandfather or Ian!

Gavin, mom and Mimi ran some errands and then headed back to the townhome for dinner before returning to our house to put Gavin to bed. He has a bit of an upset tummy, so we're staying home this morning to see how he does.
