Kickoff Week: A Look Back At Tailgating.

This week kicks off the 2014 football season and I think everyone is more than ready! Today, I'm joining Cait's link up and bringing you a look back at Gamecock tailgating for me over the past 10 years.

Let's start from the archives, shall we? 

Our last tailgate as Seniors

 

Cameron's first Carolina game (when they weren't playing Clemson)

Notice the way neutral shirt.

 

This is how we tailgate for away games at Uncle Jay's...

 Wow, my hair sure did change a lot. 

 

Weekend Fun!

Whew, I am SO glad I have today off from work because I had a jam-packed weekend.

 

 

Friday night we took advantage of Avondale's Restaurant Week and grabbed some dinner and drinks with friends at Mellow Mushroom. Dinner and drinks turned into, "hey, let's get a shot at every bar in Avondale!" I was super hesitant since I had to wake up early the next morning, so instead of ordering a beer along with my shot at every bar, I ordered a water. SO responsible. :)

 

My eyes lit up when I saw "The Elderflower" on the drink list at Mellow Mushroom. I finally got to try the St. Germain liquor that everyone in the blog world has been talking about. I liked it! Tasted very light and refreshing. I think I'll finally bite the bullet and buy a bottle now.

 

Saturday morning, Emily and I woke up early and took a road trip to Columbia for the South We had a blast and wound up finding great tickets....even if they were in the middle of the visitor's section. :)

The new video board!

These guys were obviously lost.

 

 

Yesterday, Cameron and I ate at Angel Oak Restaurant....

 Then picked up some pine straw, boiled peanuts and some mums from the nearby farmers market. We spent a long day working in the yard and Brady relaxed on the front porch while watching us.

Sorry, no menu plan this week. Busy week of events at work so I won't be cooking that much.

 

Hope you had a great weekend and have a great Monday!
