One of the nice things about living in the land of sunshine near a college campus is that friends and family are drawn to visit. We have sets of guests coming to visit for each of the Seminole home games. But the "bowl-like" atmosphere of playing Alabama in the Gator Bowl Stadium (Alltel) is causing a family reunion.
On Friday night - my sons Drew and Keith will be flying south to visit us and enjoy a family weekend. Our friends George and Joel managed to get a condo on Jacksonville Beach and they will pick up Keith late on Friday night. Also on Friday night - I will be picking up Drew here in Tallahassee. We will all get together (The Beatles plus two) around noon for the pre-game festivities.
Of course - there is always the problem of landing 6 tickets - but that has never stopped us before. We are usually lucky enough to find some outside before the game. This game has been sold out for months - so wish us luck. Game time is 5 PM and will be televised regionally by CBS.
Just like Cinderella - after the game my sons must move on. Sunday morning Keith will fly home to Washington and later in the day Drew will drive to Gainesville to give a presentation. And the "empty nesters" will head back to Tallahassee with their friends - George and Joel.
Hopefully my next story will be about the great tickets we landed - plenty of nice pictures - good food and fun at the tailgate party - and the afterglow of a Seminole victory for the long ride home.
