Chapel Hill

All of us went to Chapel Hill for the big game on Saturday. Our good friend Bill was kind enough to host the six of us. And what a wonderful host he was! Ice cream sundaes to welcome us at 10pm Friday night, French Toast and bacon first thing Saturday morning...we were all spoiled!

Once we parked at the UNC campus, we hooked up with some good friends from home, Tim and Andrea, and the kids had great fun at Tar Heel Town. Cal and Bailey particularly liked this blow up game where they each had to try to shoot a ball in a hoop. The complication was that they were harnessed together on either ends
of a rope creating a kind of tug-of-war. We created a small scene as we posed in front of the giant UNC tee making scowling faces.

Tim provided a special treat when he took us to the Rams' Club for a unique view of the field and plenty of M&M's, chips, pretzels and soda before the game started. Needless to say, we stood out like sore thumbs wearing our navy and orange in a room full of Carolina blue. One of us maintained our life-long 44-plus-year streak of never setting foot inside the Rams' Club.

The day was a huge success, especially when UVA held off UNC to win 22-20. The only casualty was my diet - the worst 24 hours of the past three weeks! We had to come straight home after the game, to be here in time for Calvin's football game on Sunday.









For the record, we don't know how to fix the wacky spacing of the photos relative to the text. It must have something to do with the Blogger software.
