Last Wednesday I got an awesome surprise! Rachel graduated from high school with Austin Tate and she was able to get in touch with him and get some tickets from him for this weekend's game at Rutgers! I've been a little depressed recently about missing out on football season and not getting to watch my Hogs play, so I was thrilled when I heard I was going to get to go! And also, my sweet friend, Faithy, perfectly timed a letter to Rachel and I and included some Razorback decals in it! I have the BEST friends!!
We headed out Saturday morning and had a three and a half hour drive from DC to Rutgers University. And to my very great excitement we found a Chic-fil-a on the way and I got chicken minis for breakfast!!!! Woohoo! Haha. Oh the little things... Obviously, losing was a little bit of a disappointment, and I most definitely do NOT ever want to live in New Jersey...or really ever visit there again...BUT it was a great, great day spent with other Arkansans and people who love our great state and our Razorback football boys!
We stayed in NJ for the night and then drove 30 minutes the next day to Philly--The City of Brotherly Love. I had never been to Philly before and it was such a fun trip getting to see The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and explore the city! And yes...yes, I took a picture with the Philly's mascot. However, take note that this Cardinals fan is not being swayed in any way, just being a tourist for the day.
This is one of the best best best parts of living in DC! I am so very close to some amazing places and awesome historical landmarks. It's like...living on vacation! Almost. It's something I think I've taken for granted and I'm realizing what an opportunity it is to be close enough that I can spend my weekends seeing things that some people only dream of getting to see. Oh adventures.... :)
