Weekend Report
Well my travels went from Statesboro, GA to Blackburg, VA to Savannah, GA to Tyler, TX. Below are the details and some highlights from the journey that lasted three days.
Friday Sept 29th:
The girls and I leave from Statesboro to head up to Blacksburg, VA to visit Rickey our great friend and godfather of Riley. We arrive around 9:00 pm to his house to find a house full of cheerleaders eating and drnking beer, mind you before a big game the next day. We get settled in and have a couple of beers with them only to find out that Rickey's house is basically their second home and a tradition have each Friday night before a game. Later on that night Rickey and me head out to the town of Blacksburg to a bar call TOP OF THE STAIRS or to the locals "TOTS" and it is jammed packed with folks. Rickey gets me a drink called the RAIL which is basically a mixture of every liqour on the bar shelf with a splash of coke. Pretty strong and similar to a long island ice tea and I had about three of them. Rickey on the other hand had the same amount and was TOASTED. Fun night with him and enjoyed the outing.
SaturdaySept 30th:
GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!! In Blacksburg and the town is gearing up for a big game of Virginia TEch Hokies #10 hosts the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets #24 in front of a packed crowd of just over 66,000 fans on the Orange Effect. What you ask is the orange effect I will get to that in a seond. But first the girls, Rickey and me head to McDonalds to have breakfast and see syrup get poured all over rickey and his pants. What a mess it was but we still enjoyed ourselves. Head back to the house to get cleaned up so that the girls and me can head to the bookstore to get some Hokie gear.
A HOKIE what in the hell is it.......well I found out that it is a castrated turkey and very loud google sound. Anyway we are at the bookstore to get something orange because of the orange effect. The orange effect is a promotion that designates two games each season as one being the orange effect and the other the maroon effect, which are their school colors. Each person is encouraged to wear a orange shirt and the bookstore even sells a shirt with a slogan on the back. Pretty cool idea and the stadium looked like a big bowl of oranges and very impressive. So we got little Riley a cute Hokies hoody and kelley and me a tshirt.
Once back to the house we find the same group of guys that were at the house last night their again and now cooking a big breakfast feast. We had sausage, biscuits, pancakes, eggs, juice, bacon, and hash browns. The guys did all the cooking and even cleaned the kitchen as well.
So we, as all the cheerleaders Rickey and the callaway clan pile into a little Ford pickup truck to head to the stadium for the game. Once we got parked the callaway clan headed across the campus to meet up with Mr. Brady and his daughters family who live in the area to tailgate with them. We had a blst and very nice folks.
Game time start and we get settled into our great seats that are field level and front row, by the cheerleaders with a great view :). The game starts and I am off to get some drinks and food for everyone. No cash in the wallet so I went to three ATMS......all out of order......finially found the last one with a line of 30 deep. Got some money and headed back to the game to see GT up 21 points over scoreless Hokies. We the hokies lost in the end by like 11 points GT is a damn good team.
We headed back to the house after the game to rest and hang out with my baby since I will not be with her for two weeks. We watch some movies and went to bed early. Kelley on the other hand went out to TOTS with Rickey to get wasted by some RAILS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........she had a blast and slept the whole home on sunday.
Sunday Oct 1st:
Drove back to Savannah and got ready to head to Texas for two weeks.
