Florida State v/s Miami

Brian is a big fan of the Florida State Seminoles, so for his birthday (back in July) we got him tickets to the big rivalry game against Miami. The game was at 8 p.m., so we left the house around 3 last Saturday to travel to Tallahassee.  After a quick bite and a stop at Target to buy Seminole gear for Livy and myself, we arrived at the game.  Traffic was horrendous and there were no available parking spots close the the stadium.  We ended up parking quite a distance from the game and walking.  By the time we arrived, had our tickets scanned, and found our seats, the band was already on the field and the festivities were about to begin.  We did arrived in time to see the Noles make their grand entrance.  The kids were looking forward to seeing Chief Osceola and Renegade, so we're glad we didn't miss them.

 The game was everything that a good football game should be.  It was a close, but our team pulled it out in the end.  The final score was 29-24.  The kids cheered and tomahawk-chopped so much that I was sure they would be hoarse the next day.  The game did not end til around midnight, and we were exhausted.  Not wanting to make that long walk back to the car, Brian hired a pedicab.  The previously tired kids perked right up during the pedicab ride.  They thought that it was super-cool.  (This was my first pedicab ride and I also thought it was super-cool).  We arrived back to the car in no time and were able to beat the traffic out of town.  The kids loved the football game experience, and it was a nice way to kick off our Fall Break.
