National Champions

Spencer and I were lucky enough to be able to go out to Arizona and have tickets to the BCS game to cheer Auburn onto a great victory. We left Saturday afternoon for the Bham airport and boarded our charter plane. The plane was full of all Auburn fans going to to Glendale, so it was a fun flight. We got off the plane and right onto big charter buses that took us to our resort and didnt have to worry with our bags. Check in was very fast, we walked around the resort which was huge and then went to our room and our luggage was already there for us. Saturday night we hung around the resort and made some new friends and then we got to sleep in on Sunday morning which was the best thing ever. It was so nice to be able to lay in bed and watch tv (not Barney) and take my time getting ready.

Side note: Madelyn stayed with Mymy and Pop Saturday and Sunday then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house Sunday night.
Sunday we walked around the resort some more and ate lunch poolside. Then we went into Old Town Scottsdale, which was such a cool place. We did some shopping and then met up with Ashley, Terrell (Spencer's cousins) and some of our others friends.

We had a great time hanging out with family and friends. Monday was the big game. We loaded charter buses at the resort and they took us to our tailgate spot in Glendale. They had rented out a great Mexican restaurant where we enjoyed wonderful food and drinks.

The restaurant was right outside so we were able to walk to the stadium and meet up with some friends.

What a great scene- looking at a beautiful American flag and being surrounded by over 78,000 people singing God Bless America.

 

 

We had great seats surrounded by mostly Auburn fans except for the group of guys right next to us that were Oregon fans but they were really nice and good sports about everything.It was so exciting to be at the game. We yelled and cheered so much our throats hurt but that didnt matter because with 2 seconds left in the tied ball game Auburn scored to win the 2011 BCS National Chamionship game.

It was such a great feeling to be at the game seeing our Auburn Tigers win.
Tuesday we were supposed to leave at 3 for Birmingham back after flight delays, ice storm in Bham, our plane being late and then no gate for our plane to get into we didnt leave Pheonix until after 10. We finally got into Birmingham after 1am and it was so good to be home. We had such an awesome trip and are so thankful to everyone who made this great trip possible for us and for taking care of our sweet baby cakes.
