So lets just go ahead and say this now, Mathis, if you read this, you will be mad. And yes, Jed was not thrilled we did this but given the chance again, I would do it the exact same way.
Terri came in for the weekend and as Jed & I were hard at work, Terri was out walking around campus. As she was on the drillfield, she offered to take a picture for a few Pitt fans that were exploring campus before the football game on Saturday afternoon. She ended up talking to them for a while telling them all kinds of stuff about Tech, places to eat and must see's before they leave.
On Friday night, as we went to meet up with more friends visiting for the weekend, we ran into Terri's new Pitt friends and we invited them to our tailgate on Saturday morning.
On Saturday morning, I was actually quite surprised when they showed up! Megan's family was in town this weekend as well and did a ton of prep work/cooking for the tailgate so we spent most of the time laughing and talking to everyone.
Unfortunately there was an organization that stopped by our tailgate. They were trying to raise money for their organization and the way they were doing that was they had a Tech student with a Pitt shirt on that said, "Pie Me" and they had a pie tin full of whipped cream. If you donate to there cause you could "pie" the "Pitt fan". For whatever reason, they decided our tailgate would be there first stop. Not a smart move since the four Pitt fans had invited many more Pitt fans to our tailgate. So it was the Pitt fan that donated first and instead of hitting the "Pitt fan" with a whipped cream pie, it was the Hokie fan that was going to get it in.
Well, Danielle wouldn't let the Pitt fans out do us so she threw in a few bucks and with a whipped cream pie tin in her hand, she pied one of the actual Pitt fans that had come to our tailgate!
Everyone was a great sport about everything and we all enjoyed meeting and hanging out before the game.
Terri, Meredith and Antonio came to the game with me this week. It was Antonio's first college football game. We had a great time jumping around, yelling and screaming and all the other things you do at college football games.
That evening we just hung out at the house with Jackie, Evan, Jeanette and Terri, watching football, catching up and eating pizza. Afterwards we went to spend a little more time with Meredith &Antonio before they had to head home in the morning.
On Sunday, Jed and I flipped a coin and headed north on 220 to his old stomping grounds. The leaves are just so beautiful this time of the year and we just love going and exploring and checking out the views. It just never gets old.

We made it to Clifton Forge, Covington & the Homestead before headed home for the evening.
We just love this time of the year.
