Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia

We just got back from a trip to Orlando for the capital One Bowl. We had a great time, but are very happy to be home!!

Our bowl trip started with a visit to an outlet mall with lots of great stores. Unfortunately, it was VERY crowded and we didn't have much time. So after checking out a few select stores (and getting a fabulous coat at the Ann Taylor store) we sat in nasty traffic trying to get to dinner at. . .


Epcot Center! We didn't ride anything - it was an in-and-out visit for us to get dinner with the University party. After sitting in the traffic, Marc and I were tired and irritated and Epcot was pretty crowded. So we headed back to the hotel for some much needed rest as we prepared to visit. . .

Universal Studios! My co-worker Meg joined us as we toured the park. We got their when they opened at 8am so the crowds wouldn't be too bad. And they weren't. We had lots of fun. Marc particularly enjoyed the Simpsons ride :-)

After the park, lunch and a nap, Marc and I had a New Year's Eve dinner at a wonderful restaurant, Christinis. I had a delectable Chilean Sea Bass served over baby shrimp risotto. Yummmmm. We returned to the hotel to toast in 2009 and get ready to. . .
Cheer on the Bulldogs! We had a pre-game lunch and then headed to the stadium. Our seats were great - about 17 rows up on the 35 yard line. We could even watch Matthew Stafford keep warm when Michigan State had the ball.


Georgia fans were out in force. Check out this little guy - he was UGA from head to toe:


The first half of the game was stinky, but Georgia finally arrived to the game for the second half.

And we won - YAY!!!
