Drove to Miami today with a quick stop at the Fort
Lauderdale airport to pick up my son, Chris. Chris had scored two great tickets
to see Virginia Tech play the University of Miami in this week’s Thursday night
football game. He also used Marriott loyalty program points to get a terrific
hotel room at the Turnbury Marriott in Miami.

After checking in at the hotel and spending a little
time sitting by the pool we headed for Sun Life Stadium for a little
tailgating. We had a cooler full of beer, but the majority of fans around us
had elaborate setups. Many had tent like canopies, BBQs, tables & chairs,
and some even had generators powering who knows what.

Once in the stadium we found or seats. We were only
four rows up behind the visitor’s bench. Great seats.
Unfortunately the game did not go our way, and the
Hokies lost. This has been a sad season, and the first losing season since I
started following them. They meet another Florida team next Thursday night:
Florida State. FSU has been doing very well this year so I suppose it will be
another disappointment. Just the same, we will be in front of the TV rooting
them on.
We returned to Orlando Friday afternoon and enjoyed
a little home time with Chris before driving him to the Tampa airport Saturday
afternoon for his trip home to Dallas.
Thank you Lisa and Jack for sharing him with us this
week!
