Day 279 – Tailgating

What a day! For today’s intention, we got up nice and early and headed into Massachusetts to meet up with our friends, Steve and Kathy. They got us all tickets to go to the UMass football game where their son goes to school. It’s about a 2 hour drive up north but worth it!! The drive was so amazing- the colors turning every shade autumn proudly delivers and it was something truly spectacular!

Anyhow, unfortunately the kids couldn’t go because Micah is under the weather with a cold and Elijah couldn’t get out of work. But Vinny and I went and had an awesome time. Steve, Kathy and their kids, their kids’ friends and parents, Kristi and her kids, Wendy and her kids were all there too. Not to mention about 20,000 college kids attending and tailgating there. We went to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough with Steve, Kathy and their friends to tailgate and see the game before last year and this was every bit as much fun if not more.
We grilled tons of food, ate, drank, played games and hung out for a few hours before game time. Then we headed in to enjoy the actual football game. College football is such a different beast – the vibe is so amazing and I just soaked it up. The weather was cool and later in the day actually a bit cold which to me is just true football weather. Kathy was prepared thank goodness….she had extra sweatshirts and jackets, hand warmers, scarves, gloves and more. She does such an amazing job with tailgating – she literally doesn’t miss a detail. (Truth be told, I thought I was good but she really is “The Hostess With The Mostess” lol) #adoreher

Anyhow, after the game we all went out to dinner. I just love hanging out with this awesome group of people. On our way home, Vinny and I reflected a bit on how perfect the day was. It’s truly days like this that you just never, ever forget. We are most definitely going again when both the boys can go as well.  **Btw... everyone LOVED the Jell-O shots and Rummy Gummies!!** #Areyoureadyforsomefootball #Lovetailgating #HGAL
