Hey y'all! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you saw that one week ago today, I was South Carolina bound! This was our longest football road trip to date...not going to lie - those 40 hours in the car got long at times, but we always have so much fun!!
We met at Debbie's around 8:30 & were on the road by 9:00. A road trip is not complete without Dreamsicles, a stop at Bucee's & at least one meal at Cracker Barrel.
We drove about 9 hours on Thursday & made it Meridian, MS that evening. We checked into our hotel & then headed to supper. Pumpkin Spice margaritas!!
We called it an early night & were back on the road by about 9:00 on Friday morning. We made a gas stop in Talladega & it was race weekend!
We arrived in Columbia late that evening, checked into the hotel & then spent some time relaxing by the hotel fire pit...much needed after almost 19 hours of driving!
Later that evening we headed downtown to the Aggie Headquarters...we had supper & drinks at The Grand on Main & then headed to the State Capital for Midnight Yell!
We crawled in bed around 1:30am and then were up bright & early the next day...it was GAMEDAY!! We were told that we needed to get there by 10:30 in order to get parking. The State Fair was going on right by the stadium so it was kind of a chaotic mess! But, we found parking without a problem, hung out in the car for a while & then headed to the Aggie Tailgate.
Y'all, their mascot is a rooster in a remote controlled "car". It is seriously the best thing ever!
In typical Aggie fashion, the game did not disappoint. The first half was kinda boring {& HOT!! holy heck...we were facing the sun the entire time & y'all - it was bad!!}. But, the last 2 minutes made up for it. After the longest 1:55 minutes ever, we finally pulled out the win 26-23.
After the game, we drove about 4 hours back to Bremen, GA. We checked into the hotel, slept a few hours & then hit the road Sunday morning. We made the 13 hour drive in one day & arrived back in Brenham around 9:00.
In total, we drove about 2200 miles & spent around 40 hours in the car. We went through 6 states & I will add, Georgia has the most gorgeous roadsides! Look at all those flowers?! They were all along the interstate.
When we got into Brenham on Sunday night, it was 88. When we woke up Monday, it was 48! Welcome to Texas!! Once again, we had a fabulous time! We made it there & back safely and we brought home the win! Let the countdown begin to Georgia 2019!! Gig'em!!
