What a weekend

My first blog of the New Year  weeeeeeeeee  Happy New Year !!!

Yes, I survived the road trip.  Feel like I got hit by a bus, but it was a fun time as expected.

Rang in the new year on the balcony of a hotel close enough to Busch Gardens I coulda thrown a rock at it.  Talk about NoIsY!!  Yikes.  Found out that on January 1st there's a college bowl game in Tampa Bay so 75% of Georgia State Universities Bulldog fans were sharing the same hotel.  Oh to be so young!

True to form, the strongest thing I consumed was really bad convenient store coffee.  Shared some dirty jokes, relived a few high points from 2004 and met some very colorful people in the process.  That's my puppies fault.  Zaida the stunning Australian Shepard.  Her striking appearance and her loving personality always draws them in.   If I was a guy, she would be the perfect "chick magnet"  hehe

I had front row seats for the Fireworks display at Busch that lasted a good 25 minutes.  Even from a mile away they were impressive.  I ran out of gas about 1:30am but the city was still in full swing.  I wanna send a special shout out to the gentlemen who reminded me its not wise to play with fire while intoxicated  lol  Those 2:37 am  M80 firecrackers outside my door were a nice touch!!  I left claw marks in the ceiling of room #260.  Hope I don't get charged extra for that.

The weather was picture perfect, the soccer on Sat & Sun was wicked competitive which is precisely the reason for our travels.  But that story I will save for another blog when I am not typing with exhausted fingers and half drooping eyes!

Until then..
