Welcome to Miami!!

          Well, this weekend was an overall success! (if you're a Tiger fan, that is) Here's a quick, and I mean quick, recap of the weekend:

* Saturday morning - wake up, get everybody showered and eat breakfast, load up, get on the road to Charlotte
* mid-morning - arrive at Concord Mills Outlets, meet up with Mom & Dad, eat lunch, shop, shop, shop
* afternoon - check in at hotel, relax just a litte, get dressed and head to the game, leave a very fussy Tillman w/ Mom (thank you, Mom!)
* evening - be a spectator at the ACC Championship game between Clemson & Virginia Tech
* midnight-ish - Clemson is named the ACC Champions for the 2011 football season! :)

* Sunday morning - wake-up feeling pretty well rested, get everybody showered, eat breakfast, etc.
* mid-morning - say bye to Mom & Dad, head to IKEA for 3 hours of bliss!
* afternoon - leave Charlotte, return to Easley, one happy Tiger fan and on cloud 9 about our successful IKEA trip; didn't get a single thing at the outlets...

 even though it was the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship game, there was no Dr. Pepper to be sold - only Pepsi. Major disappointment!

Dad & Me

We got to our seats early

Josh, Dad, Me - Clemson sandwich

Josh, Me, McKinley - Go Tigers!

McKinley w/ her new hat on - piggies - great BBQ sandwiches, too!

Dad/Grandpa & Tillman w/ her "house divided" hat
1/2 Clemson colors, 1/2 VATech colors
(* sidenote: thank you, Mary Bowers for providing every bit of Tillman's outfit!!)


* New Countdowns:
- 6 days until Josh graduates from graduate school & receives his master's degree
- 12 days until the start of a 2 week Christmas break
- & anxiously awaiting January 4th for 2 VERY important reasons: Clemson plays in the Orange Bowl in Miami & my best friend finds out the sex of her baby due in May!! :)

*** AND... for those counting, this is officially my 99th blog post since Tillman was born a year ago... maybe something special for post #100??? We'll see. ***
