We made it to Georgia! What what!
That ride seems to get longer and longer each time. I’m sure it also has to do with the fact that once you fly, driving SUCKS!
We made it to my parents at midnight last night. I got up with my mommy is morning and spent some time with her before she left for work. She gets up at 5:15 ever morning but doesn’t leave until 7AM. I wake up at the last possible minute to get ready and get out the door. No “waking up” for me. It was worth getting up early to spend sometime with her.
This morning Huck is trying to get a few work things finished before our three days of see as many people as we can, starts.
I did manage to do this weeks recipe for my Bulldogs menu. I wasn’t able to find a beer from Louisiana, of course, but decided Sweetwater IPA would work great since we’re in Georgia this weekend.
This recipe was super simple yet really good. I’m not sure how UGA will do against LSU. I’m not getting my hopes up, but this meal is bound to bring a smile to your face. No matter what the score is!
I didn’t do a post for UGA’s first game against Clemson, and they loss. Maybe these will help us bet LSU :)
I wanted to go to Athens for the game, but there just isn’t enough time. We may get to squeeze in a trip to Sweetwater Brewery tomorrow, though.
