Columbus part 2

The next morning we woke up and checked out downtown Columbus. It's huge! We got lost drove around for a while and then did a little shopping. I ate at my first Waffle House, it was delish. 

One cool thing about the game was that we ended up on TV! 5 seconds of fame, ha.

Today we checked out the Renaissance Festival. I should've taken pictures but it was really crowded and I tend to get overwhelmed in places like that. I have no sense of direction and so I can't comprehend how I am going to see or even find everything. Luckily bf is the complete opposite and can lead me through.

Hope you had a nice weekend! I'm going to go read blogs until I crash. Back to the grind...

Oh when the Yanks go marching in ...

On Tuesday morning, we headed down to Columbus, OH to watch the USMNT take on Jamaica in a World Cup Qualifier. 

Road trip fuel

American Outlaws are awesome. They (with the help of 4th St. Bar in Columbus and the Hudson Street Hooligans) put on the best tailgate. Unlimited Budweiser and bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Don't mind if I do.

Beer, game, awkward, party

Columbus Crew stadium is super nice. I wish we had an MLS team so bad! The game was awesome, nonstop screaming and cheering and beer spilling. I took some really bad phone shots of Dempsey and Howard but instead I will just give you this .gif.

The boys won and we mowed down some nachos and buffalo wings at Applebee's before passing out.

More later! TGIF!

GOLD DIGGING

Congrats to the U.S. Women's National Team for taking home the gold!!!

I was so happy to be able to watch the game live instead of having to record it and watch it later. Everything is better in real time. The U.S. is no stranger to winning the gold, but beating Japan after losing to them in PKs in the Women's World Cup last year made it much more special (imo). Also, Abby Wambach seems like she would be the coolest person to hang out with, ever.

Way to go ladies!
