This weekend I headed south to watch Tech play Clemson. I was able to stay in Charlotte on Friday night and had the chance to spend some time with my nieces and Joel and Leigh. It was great to have some time to just hang out and catch up.
Saturday morning came way too quick and Kilby, Christy and Jeff hopped in the car with me to head down to the game. It was a pretty quick and easy drive down to Clemson until we got of the exit for the game and then we were just stopped. We thought we had left ourselves plenty of time for traffic but we were not expecting this. We spent 50 minutes trying to find parking.
By the time we were walking to the game most people were already in the stadium. The Clemson fans we did see out and about were very nice and helped direct us to the stadium. Some even stopped us to get a picture.
We made it in the stadium and to our seats just as they were kicking off. I was a little bummed that I missed there intro but I was so glad to be there.
Tech game out strong but Clemson was just a little too much for us to handle at the end. Clemson played a good game and their crowd was really loud and definitely affected the game. Clemson does a cool thing after the game where they let all the fans that want come onto the field and sing along with the team to the Alma Mater. So we went and walked around on their field and headed up the hill the team normally runs down at the beginning of the game.
On our way home, we stopped at a hot dog place that Christy's family owns and operates called Skins. It was really great and a fun stop to get our minds off the game.
On Sunday, after church Jed and I head out to enjoy the weather and the changing leaves. This time we chose to go to the Cascades. It brought back lots of old memories and stories. It has been a while since we have done that hike and it did not disappoint. The pictures just don't do it justice.
We ending the evening by celebrating Jed's birthday early with dinner and friends at Macados.
On Jed's actual birthday, he had to work late. He was able to sneak out for a few minutes to grab a quick bite for dinner at Big Pizza. And then we headed out for drinks late that night with friends at the Cellar.
But the highlight was definitely on Tuesday when we drove down to pick up Joel in Greensboro after work and headed to Carrboro, NC to see their cousin's band, Zap & The Naturals play at the Cat's Cradle. They did an AMAZING job and I look forward to seeing them again as soon as possible.
