Bryon surprised me with Sugar Bowl tickets on Christmas morning! We calculated that it had almost been 3 years since we went away for the weekend, so we were both excited about our upcoming trip to New Orleans.We had such a great time! I got lots of dirty stares all over the place driving east on 1-10 in Lousiana. Apparently LSU fans aren't the biggest fans of the "Scarlet Letter"! Once we were in New Orleans, I was around my people again! Bama fans as far as the eye could see! Everywhere we went, we were greeted with "Roll Tide!" I love the Bama Nation! We feasted on beignets at Cafe' Dumonde, and had a great meal at Nola's, Emeril's restaurant.
As we were walking up to the Super Dome, it seemed there were 10 Bama fans to every 1 Utah fan. In fact, I sorta felt sorry for these fans.....until the game began. Good grief! We were not prepared for that stomping! It was a depressing game, but we refused to let it ruin the weekend. The Crimson Tide did so much better than expected this year. 12-2 is nothing to be ashamed of! The next morning when we went to breakfast, we were greeted still by loyal Bama fans giving us a warm "Roll Tide!" Looking forward to next year!
The best part of the weekend was hanging out with Bryon. It was so great just being together. We were so happy to pick the kids up from my sweet in laws yesterday.

What a fun surprise from your husband.....loved hearing about it and seeing the pictures.
Always....Roll Tide.
How fun!!! I was shocked that my husband (a die-hard Tennessee fan) was rooting for them that night.....he is loyal to the SEC when it comes to bowl games. They did have a great season and it must have been so fun to be there! Your Christmas looked like tons of fun~ your kiddos are so adorable. Kelly S.
Glad you were there to cheer on the guys! And glad you and Bryon had fun without the kiddies too. Have a great week!
Sorry the game was not so great, but glad you had a great time.
We will get 'em next year... Roll Tide!
