As we all head back to work, I wanted to share my Rose Bowl Experience! We drove down on the 31st, and stopped in Camarillo to visit the Rehders who are close Lane Family friends. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we had a great time visiting with them. Then, off to Pasadena early Friday morning. We arrived a little after 10:00, and got our parking spot about a
mile away from the stadium. We got ourselves comfortable and did a little bit of tailgating. Then, off to the stadium we walked. Boy, I know I'm 6 months pregnant, but I still felt like I can keep up with the rest of them...well, not anymore. I had to really slow down the pace, and thought to myself - I just figured out what my New Years resolution is...DAILY WALKS! After about 20-30 minutes, we arrived at the stadium. At first glance, it's interesting, because only half of the stadium sticks up into the sky. The rest is beneath the ground surface. We climbed up to row 65, and we were surrounded by enthusiastic, excited Ohio State fans...one of which happened to be the owner of the Old Pro Bar in Palo Alto! We were mixed in with a great crowd, and we had a ton of fun cheering the Buckeyes onto victory. The weather again was beautiful, a clear/warm 73 degrees. We even broke out the sunscreen! All in all, it was super fun. I was pretty comfortable the entire time, and really glad we were able to experience it.
The next day we visited with Jeremy's brother Jordan, his wife Amy & daughter Kathleen. It was so nice to be able to visit with little Kathleen who will already be a year old in a couple weeks! She's such a mellow-happy girl! I loved asking them about all of their "gear" to help with my registry selections as well. Later that evening we met up with Jeremy's brother Matt, his girlfriend Katy, my friend Sarah Adolphson from high school, and her boyfriend Rob in Manhattan Beach. It was a great way to end the weekend! Happy New Year Everyone!
