Boston College vs. Notre Dame game-September 16, 2017!

Now that Anna has transferred (for now) from Boston College to Notre Dame, she has decided she really loves BC. Of course.  Oh well.

Anyway, we decided to let her fly up to Boston for the BC vs. Notre Dame game this weekend to see her friends.  Then, we decided we were going to go, because, well, we bought 6 tickets to go to the game back when we thought Anna would be there, and we were going to make this weekend our Parents' Weekend at BC, because the last Parents' Weekend was such a washout.

So, we went.  And we decided to make it a one day trip, which is a little crazy, because each way is almost 5.5 hours.  But now, I am not thinking of the time on the road, I am thinking of how crazy fun it was this past Saturday to see Anna, if only for a short time, and how great it was to see such amazing college spirit from both BC and Notre Dame.  

At my college, tailgating was not really a big deal.  And while I have gone to another Notre Dame football game at Notre Dame two years ago,  it was with all 4 kids with me, and we were just trying to make it to the game.

But this was really fun.  The BC campus doesn't have one really huge parking lot like Notre Dame does for tailgating, so the entire campus was essentially shut down, and there were tailgates everywhere.  It was so much fun!
