The Florida Game

So, the Blazers headed to The Swamp this past weekend to take on the Florida Gators. It was our 1st game of the season, so I know the guys were excited & jittery. It was also the wives' trip - the one trip each season when the coaches' wives get to fly with the team, go out to dinner, etc. It was a fun weekend, mainly because our football season was finally starting. Other than the final score :(, we all had a fab time!!

The Airport

The Hotel

We stayed at the Hilton in Ocala.

Ocala is horse country & the hotel has it's own Clydesdale!

Ready for dinner!

There were LOTS of Blazer fans awaiting our arrival.

It really pumped us up!!!

P.S. - While waiting at the airport to head to Florida, I started digging around in my bag for my camera to start taking some pics. I was DEVASTATED to find that my camera was not there! I forgot to stick it back in my bag after uploading pics of Tanner's doc appt that morning. I NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT MY CAMERA!!! Thankfully, my "picture taking partner-in-crime" Beth Summers came to the rescue. She took plenty of pics during the weekend & shared them with me. Can you tell we LOVE to take pics?!? And it's nice to actually have some of yourself & not just the husbands & kids.  Maybe that's why we took so many of ourselves . . . . :)
