Bowl Games!

As everyone knows, Jason and I are both huge football fans. Although we cheer for different teams, we try to split our time during the fall evenly and attend as many Tech and UT games as we can. This January, we were lucky enough to go to both the Alamo Bowl and the BCS game to cheer on the Raiders and the Horns!

Alamo Bowl: The Alamo Bowl is in San Antonio, so we drove up Saturday morning, tailgated and went to the game Saturday night. Sunday, we had lunch and enjoyed some time on the Riverwalk before coming home. Here are some pictures from the game:
The "Going Band from Raiderland" marched from their hotel on the Riverwalk to the Alamo Dome. I shot this picture from Jason's truck as they marched past us.

Rose Bowl: Earlier this fall, Jason played in the Texas Exes golf tournament where he was the grand prize winner in a raffle for two tickets and a hotel room in LA for the BSC game. As you can imagine, he was on pins and needles the entire season, hoping that UT would stay undefeated and make it to the big game. Luckily for Jason, they did and we headed off to California. During our short stay, we were able to spend some time with my cousin who lives in LA, have lunch and go sightseeing in Old Town Pasadena, tailgate with friends who had also come to the game and of course, go to the Rose Bowl. Although UT lost, we still had a great time in California!

We stopped to take a picture as we walked from Old Town Pasadena to the Rose Bowl.
