A fun football weekend!

Sean and I had an awesome weekend! Saturday we got up bright and early and drove to Indianapolis to meet up with Scott, Megan, and some of Megan's family to head up to South Bend for the Notre Dame, Navy game. The car ride up was pretty uneventful however we did see some deer. Once we got there we took a tour of the campus. It is a beautiful campus! We got to see where Scott and Megan got engaged (the particular bench is in question.... :-) ), were married, and had their reception. All beautiful spots!

We ate some brats from student run stands before the game and did some tailgating. It was Scott's birthday and almost Megan's sister's boyfriend Adam's birthday, so we had a cake and sang. Then we headed to the game. Since tickets can be hard to come by we all split up to watch the game. Sean and I were at one of the end zones and luckily in the sun pretty much the whole game. Thanks to Megan's mom for getting us tickets!!! The game was quite exciting and the fans and band were really into it, so it made it more fun. I had forgotten how much fun college games can be! Unfortunately after 3 overtimes ND lost to Navy. However it was hard to be too upset about it since it was the first time Navy had beaten Notre Dame in 43 years!!!

We ended the night with a birthday dinner for Scott and Adam at Texas Road House. Thank to Marilyn (Megan's Mom) for dinner!!!! Once we returned to Indianapolis we basically all crashed. We headed back to Ohio fairly early Sunday morning since Sean has 4 exams this week.

I may have to add Notre Dame to my list of teams I cheer for! Go Buffs and Go Irish!

Didn't CU and ND play in a national championship in like 1990? I'm not sure you are allowed to be a fan of both teams if they were once sworn enemies. Of course it has been a long time so I guess it is OK.

Shouldn't you be a Navy fan? Oh, wait, Shaun is in the Air Force. I heard about the game last weekend, that was a long one. Do you know NDs record? You should pick a winning team like ... ah ... oh well, I can't think of one. How about the Colts?
