Last weekend, we headed on up to Fayetteville for the Hog/Bama game. The drive is always so beautiful!!! Everyone thought the Hogs would be killed by Bama but we played a great game!
There were SO many people at the game. It was hard for people to find tickets. I was thankful that Phil gave us tickets to go. Initially, this trip was supposed to be a guy's trip but a lot of the guys didn't want to make the drive so I got to go at the last minute. We sat in what we call Hog Heaven. Phil has season tickets. The atmosphere was great....red everywhere, excited people, and great weather, too! It was just a super fun game!
This was the student section an hour before the game. They are always so much fun to watch because they dance and cheer the whole time. :)
Go HOGS!!!!
This was such an exciting game. The ball was parachuted in!!! There were 3 different parachuters and they had red smoke behind them. It was so neat!
The Goodyear blimp circled around the stadium the entire game. This was the best game!! It was so much fun to watch. We were ahead until the last quarter. It was so exciting!!!
My Razorback necklace. :)
After the game, we went to Rogers and stayed at the Doubletree, where they have super comfortable beds. The sunset was gorgeous! I took a picture of what the view was behind us and in front of us. I felt sorry for Mar because he couldn't turn around and look since he was driving.
In front of us....just beautiful!!!
The LSU game was on but Mar was nice enough to let us go eat at the Marketplace where they have my favorite bread in the world. It comes in a pan that has melted butter all over the bottom. We searched for the Marketplace for at least 30 minutes before we ended up at the wrong one...the Marketplace Express. They didn't have the awesome bread so we drove to Springdale and ate at the real Marketplace. It was so worth it because our waiter introduced us to the sweet butter, which is just brown sugar melted in butter and is TO DIE FOR!! I seriously ate a loaf of bread and so did Mar. I overindulged for sure. It was DELICIOUS, though!!! I am really thankful there is not a Marketplace in my town....I'd be in BIG trouble! Oh, and their sweet green beans are amazing, too! We still got to see the whole second half of the LSU game when we got back, too.
I saw this cute shirt in a window in a store while we were walking up the hill to the game. On the way back, we stopped in and got it. I thought the tag was cute, too. It reminded me of a tag that my sister made for clothes that she was going to sell.
Here's the shirt. I "heart" AR. :)
We had a great time in NW Arkansas. I lived there for a year (and took a few classes at the U of A) when Macy was 6 months old. It's always fun to go back and see how things have changed and remember that time when I was so young and had a newborn baby who my friends (who were sophomores in college) loved to play with. She was our little doll. :) We took her everywhere with us, including daily trips to Chili's for cheese dip. Fun memories!
