Game Day in Blacksburg!

September 8 we complete our annual pilgrimage to Blacksburg for a game at Virginia Tech.  Our goal is always to make it through the first half.  Considering they don't truly understand what's going on and we're asking them to sit still with a bunch of a strangers and blow through half-time, we think that's a reasonable goal.

We had beautiful weather for the first half and Margaret made ALL kinds of friends with the men sitting around us.  Their kids are in their early 20's. I have found that recent empty-nesters who don't quite have grandchildren yet are the most interested in precious little girls ready to flirt the day away:)

Virginia Tech's first half performance was a bit lethargic, but apparently they turned it on the second half.  Guess they needed to sky to drop out first, which it did on the way back to the car.  Thank you, Daddy, for letting us duck underneath a dry cleaner's awning while you got soaking running to the car! 

Not 5 minutes after proclaiming, "I don't want to nap on the way home."
