South Bend, Boo Notre Dame

Last weekend the hubs and I made our way to the great city of South Bend to visit some friends and partake in the 1st weekend of college football. Tailgate Saturday started early. It was about 56 degrees with 35 mph winds but that wasn't stopping anyone from having a good time. The hubs started out with some early morning games of corn hole, beer in hand.

While tailgating, the hubs spotted his dream machine. Atually, it was an old ice cream truck converted into a Purdue Mobile. We took about a half hour and scoped it out.

It was nothing but awesome according to the hubs. Here he is inside the truck with one of the vehicle owners and his bud, Dan.

The tailgate festivities continued and we made our way over to the lots by the staidum to pick up our tickets. The lots were full of crazy fun super fans, Notre Dame or Purdue fans, every one was really nice and almost everyone was willing to share their food and beverages.

We met some college students who asked if I was a sophmore at Purdue. I was flattered and the hubs of course loved making new college friends. I guess it keeps us young.

Before walking into the game we ran into one of our cousins. It was a great treat. Ity would ahve been better if she was wearing the correct colors. Oh well, I think the hubs forgave her.

And then the game began. The day could  have gone alot better.

As I am sure you know, Notre Dame won.

Post game we were exhausted and we had caught wind burn to our faces. We headed home and spent the rest of the weekend recooperating, as we will be doing it all again next weekend. In fact, we will be bringing my baby sister on an Indiana & Purdue tour. I think the hubs is just excited to have one more reason to tailgate.
