So my parents were so sweet and bought me and my hubby , my bro and sis in law tickets to the Alabama vs Ol Miss football game. (an early Christmas present) .You might be saying , but Heather aren't you an Auburn fan. Why yes I am , but I am not like crazy fan statis and just Hate bama. Me and my hubby both root for each others teams when they are not playing each other. So you can say we are a fan of both until the Iron bowl! lol
Well we asked my inlaws if they would be able to keep the girls for us and they said of coarse. So we were super excited to be able to go to our 1st bama game.We really didn't know what to expect and where to go. But we got there in good timing and talked and laughed the whole way.
We arrived around12:30 or so to Tuscaloosa. We found a parking lot we had to pay $40 to park into.. which is crazy crazy but the closer you got to the stadium the more the parking was. We were about half a mile from the stadium. So not to bad. We headed towards the stadium just walking and taking everything in. We got to the stadium and took some pics infront of it . We were staring so walked back to get something to eat down the little main road there. We ended up at waffle house lol . Every local little place was jam packed and was at least an hour wait. So waffle house was a walk right in and sit down . We left there and headed back to stadium to wait on the football players to arrive and walk out of buses. Well we didn't know we had time to go look at other things before it , so we waited an hour to see them and didn't even see like the top name players. We saw Coach Saban from the front of the bus when they pulled in but that was it.



We found our seats and were so surprised at how good they were. We had awesome seats! So we were even more excited now! They had a pre game show and it was so good! They made a shape of an elephant and made it look like it was walking, and spelled out bama. Super good!!
The game starts and the crowd is going wild! It was so loud in that stadium! We were on the same row as the press box and all the cameras. If you are looking at the stands and you see the skinny long tv screen that goes around the whole stadium we were right above that. We actually had a drunk girl that we were scared for her life because she kept leaning over the edge yelling at people and hitting the long skinny tv screen. She was def entertaining and nerve racking the entire game. But I was so glad I could take my Dslr camera in but I could only have a certain size lens on it. So other words No Big Zoom lens! But I still think I got some pretty good pics.


When Ol Miss would get the ball the whole stadium would yell out until they made a play. I guess just a distraction on the other team. It was extremely loud! And everytime they would kick everyone would say Rollllllllllllllllll Tide Roll. It was such a fun experience and we would love to go back to another game. We said if we go back we would want to get seats around the same section cause now we are spoiled with how good the seats were. And we were under a covering so we were in the shade ! Oh yeah!
We Won the Game! Alabama: 25 - Ol Miss: 0!!!!!!
After the game we walked back to our and got out into the traffic! Needless to say it was horrible! It took us 2 hours to go 15 miles! Yeah I know Crazy right! And we almost got rear ended but thankfully they went off on the side of the road instead of slamming into our back end! We stayed in Hoover, so we finally get to our hotel put our luggage up and googled somewhere to eat that would be open that late! so IHOP it was! 5 min from us! So we head there and eat and come back to the hotel and crash!
We got up the next morning and headed back home ! We stopped and picked up the girls from my inlaws from the Bay minette exit .They said the girls had a blast! They played outside , went to the park, and just had so much fun!So glad they had fun and so glad they were happy to see me when we picked them up! Both of them were asleep and Avery opened her eyes and I was right there infront of her trying to get her out of their truck and she smiled and looked and me and said hey momma! It was so sweet! Then we were homeward bound!
Dropped my bro and sis in law off at their house and decided to take the girls by the local park that was on the way to our house. They loved it and were surprised we stopped!
Then headed to my parents for a little while then finally home!
Such a fun trip and so glad we were able to go and experience it! Def would love to go back to a Bama game and would love to go to an Auburn game also!
That's it for now!
Stay True to your Heart and Always follow your Dreams.
God Bless!
