Labor Day Weekend

First of all, let me start out by saying ROLLLLL FREAKIN TIDE BABY!!!!!!!!!!! We kicked some Clemson booty Saturday!!!!!

Friday:

As soon as I got off work Friday afternoon, I had to rush home to finish packing and help Brad cook a dessert that we were taking to our Bible Study class party. We got to the party around 6:00pm and had a great time fellowshipping (is that a word?) with our friends and eating. We left the party at 7:00pm to head over to Atlanta for the Alabama vs. Clemson game the next day. We got to Atlanta pretty late, checked in at the hotel and went to bed.

Saturday:

Brad's birthday!! He's 23 now! We got up and the first present I gave Brad was total control of the tv remote, a very precious gift. So we watched Game Day on EPSN. And we haaaad to watch the entire show to see which team the guy picked. No interest to me whatsoever, but hey, it wasn't my birthday!

So the show ended at noon and Brad and I headed over to his parents hotel, which was within walking distance of the Georgia Dome (right in the middle of downtown Atlanta.) We start driving closer and closer when we realize that something strange is going on. Everyone walking down the street is dressed up in super hero costumes! WHAT? We park the car and go into his parent's hotel and THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

Apparently, the hotel was hosting some sort of convention where people dressed up as comic book characters! I'm not kidding. I got some interesting pictures.... Anyway, so we eat lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, then head to the game. We sat FOUR rows from the TOP! I could not even see the numbers on the jerseys! We kicked butt, though! That's all that matters! After the game, we headed back to our hotel and layed down around 1:30am.

Sunday:

We wake up, eat breakfast, plan on checking out of the hotel and shop a little at Underground Atlanta, then head home....or so Brad thought! For his birthday, I planned a surprise! After we checked out of the hotel, we got in the car and I handed Brad a blindfold. He was so confused! From there, we went to White Water! I'm so sneaky! We had a GREAT day there. We left White Water at about 4:00pm and headed to our other hotel (that Brad didn't know about!) We took showers and got dressed and then we went and ate at a FABulous mexican restaurant called On the Border. Yummy fajitas! After dinner, we went to the movies and saw Wanted. I highly recommend it! Then of course came bedtime!

Monday:

We decided that with Hurricane Gustav headed our way, we probably needed to head home early to avoid driving in the wind and rain, so we left out at about 9:30am. We had lunch at Longhorn Steakhouse (omg, so yummy) and finallllly got back to Tuscaloosa around 1:30pm.

Great, long weekend, other than the fact that I LOST my ROLEX!!!!!
