 If you know me at all... or if you follow me on Instagram... you know I LOVE MY DAWGS!!! My dad and my brother both went to the University of Georgia (I went to an art school, so no football teams!)  Down here in the south COLLEGE FOOTBALL is a way of life... for the most part, you play it or you at least watch it... and you have your team... and it is normally a BIG DEAL!  Before I was married and had kids, I worked in a sports bar... we were a Gator bar ( BIG RIVAL, we don't do sports teams that have orange in their logo! lol)  But most of the employees were Bulldawgs...

Is It Football Season Yet?? W/W

Football season is a GREAT time in our house...  I am a Georgia Bulldog... Born and Raised... Marc is a LSU Tiger...   Broxton loves both... Ha ha ha.. He can not pick one yet :) So.  Since we had another "staycation" day, we decided to drive over to Athens, Georgia to let the 12 year old check it out...  If you have never been, UGA is a BEAUTIFUL campus... But, back to our trip! We went to the Butts - Mehre Building. It is like a "Hall of Fame" or "Museum" of all things Georgia. (It is NEVER too early to start training in the team to love!)   Herschel Walker display case.  Enough said!!! Broxton checking out all of the bowl rings and watches.   This mural was above the doors going somewhere downstairs.   There was a camp of some sorts going on, so we just casually took a stroll out onto the practice field.  Of course, that meant Broxton had to show that he was going to be a future bulldog!
