actually, anyone who knows me pretty much knows that in my college years i struggled with the whole game day situation practically every weekend of every fall. ooh boy. i’m really not a football girl. really. not so into it, me, brittany, no. but hey! i can tailgate with the best of ’em!! and guess what! so can maddalena! ha! because this far out of college, i’d say we did some of the tamest tailgating in history, and it was so so nice. we parked it in some shade and enjoyed a really beautiful auburn day with some of our favorite friends.
maddalena and i did, however, take a little stroll downtown once everyone else headed to the game [we didn’t have tickets, but steven got one last minute, and i was just fiiiine to skip out and relax with my little lady!]. i grabbed a smoothie at a little place that wasn’t there when we were and gazed at just a few of the streets and buildings that once felt so much like ours.
thanks to our friends for one more great auburn weekend! we love y’all!
*also, we won the game. also, we played ole miss. war eagle!
Looks like y'all had so much fun! It's crazy how different tailgating is post-college. I know exactly what you mean about being on the outside looking in. I went to Clemson, and its amazing how similar the campuses look! Glad you're family had a great time.
i've always heard that the campuses are so much alike!! i hope i get to visit clemson one day!!
i can't wait to take Clara back to BYU someday! So many fun college memories for Steve and I 🙂 and I'm with you on the whole game day thing…I love the spirit of it but…actually watching the game? meh.
Looks like the perfect way to spend a Saturday! Only thing that could make it more perfect would be tailgating in Tuscaloosa ;). I have been to Auburn a few times and it is a beautiful campus. I loved the downtown area. As long as Auburn doesn't play Alabama I am glad they win haha.
haha!! so funny!! i feel ya, girl!! 😉
you do football like i do football — all the fun/social parts and none of the sport watching part.
EXACTLY!
So fun to go back as a grown up with a little one!! I bet she'll have some wonderful memories of game days as she grows up visiting the campus.

what a great day with your family and how fun to spend it with friends too back at your old stomping grounds. p.s. your pregnant friend i love the dress she is wearing!
This campus is seriously beautiful! It sounds like you had a good time. I can't wait to go back and visit my alma matter for homecoming in a few weeks!
