ACC Championship Game

On Friday night Mathis and I headed down to Charlotte with some friends for the ACC Championship Game. We were so excited to go to this game, and I was definitely looking forward to a weekend out of town. On Saturday morning we woke up and ate breakfast at a wonderful local bakery.


The decor inside of this bakery was really cute, and the food was great too!  We talked a lot about the game and made our plans for the rest of the day.  At lunch we met up with some more friends at a bar-be-que place, and they had some really great macaroni and cheese. :)  We met our first Clemson fans there, and they were very nice to us.  From lunch we headed downtown, and we spent some time walking around.


There were already quite a few people gathered to tailgate, and we spent some time in the team hotel.  I got to watch parts of the Baylor game in the hotel lobby, and I was thrilled later that night when Baylor beat Texas!!!!!  It wasn't too cold that night, but I also was wearing two pairs of socks, two shirts, two jackets, gloves and a hat to keep me warm. :)


We had great seats, and I always get so excited to watch the teams warm up on the field.  I liked the Bank of America stadium, and there was definitely a great crowd.

Unfortunately the game was awful.  There's just no other way to put it.  Virginia Tech played terribly, and it was heart breaking to watch them lose after such a great season.  By the fourth quarter I was cold and cranky from watching all the annoying Clemson fans.  We didn't get in until after midnight, and I've been really tired today.

To cheer ourselves up we headed to Trader Joe's and Jamba Juice on the way home this morning.  We LOVE LOVE LOVE Trader Joe's, and it was even better today because all their holiday items were out!  I bought an evergreen wreath from them, and tonight I'm finally getting out some of our Christmas decorations.  

I still love my Hokies, and I'm excited to see how they do at their bowl game.  And of course, I'm just as excited for Baylor and another chance to watch RG3 play.  I just can't believe college football is coming to a close!
