The Gator Nation

An afternoon with 90,000 of our closest friends at

The Swamp

University of Florida Homecoming Weekend

Ron and Jeffrey, Pre-Game

Me with Ron, Pre-Game Jeff, Alison, Me, and Ron Post-Game at our Seats

Ron and I had GREAT seats. We were seated on the first row

directly above the icon representing the jersey of former coach,

Steve Spurrier. It was an easy landmark for my friends in other

areas of the stadium to find me with. Jeff and Alison sat in the

student section and joined us at the end of the game.

Jeff and Alison

It was great to see them!

At Jeffrey and Alison's totally cute apartment.

They have a perfect location right off campus

They are ready for Halloween.

Katherine and Megan stayed at Jeff and Alison's apartment

during the game...it was better for ALL of us that way.

(not one time did someone ask me how much longer until the game is over)

They enjoyed the parade the day before, being in Gainesville,

staying at a hotel, and being on a family trip.

Game Day tradition...head to Sonny's BBQ for dinner.

Yummmmmm. Megan was sharing a little love with Jeffrey

while we were waiting for our table.

There is nothing else quite like spending an afternoon with

90,000 of your closest friends in The Swamp.

We arrived home well after midnight. Tired, happy, and ready for our own beds. A cool front is moving in to Florida (cool for, Florida) . We could not have ordered better weather than we had this weekend (except for a little drizzling at the parade on Friday) No direct sun until the 4th quarter of the game on Saturday. Just a perfect weekend all the way around.

Go Gators!
