The Champion Family

It seemed like it took forever for it to come out... it was finally helped out by Mrs. Landry.

We were lucky enough to attend the BCS Championship Game in Pasadena California. We traveled with neighbors and friends Johnny and Kim Sandras. And there is absolutely no way for us to convey how much we laughed during the 4 days of this trip.

We traveled out on Wednesday before the game n Thursday... it was a full day of traveling, Birmingham to Houston to San Antonio to Denver (lots of snow they had to DE ICE the plane..a first for me) to LA (Orange County Airport) We checked into our first hotel... decided it was a gross hotel so we moved to a new hotel just down the road.

Thursday, game day, we slept in a little, had breakfast at the hotel then drove in to Pasadena. Me and Sandie had on new matching houndstooth outfits, that received lots of attention all day. One quote that Sandie got at breakfast was... "ain't nothing prettier than a woman in houndstooth." We arrived at the Rose Bowl around noon, wasted time at the ESPN Gameday Experience, had our photo taken with the BCS Trophy, several Texas fans, Demeco Ryans and just watched all the people. We enjoyed the game, I mean really enjoyed the game!! After the game we headed back to the hotel for a good nights sleep. Did I mention that our cheeks hurt from laughing so much yet?

Friday is a goof off day we sleep in and have breakfast at the hotel again (did I mention it was cook to order? yummy) Our only plan for today was dinner at Duke's of Malibu. So we spend the day driving up the coast road, we stop at a Little street market, we eat lunch at Hof's Hut that started out as a beach burger place, pretty good meal. Then on up the coast road to Malibu where we stop at a road side flea market looking place that has weird and cool stuff, where I got recognized as "the guy with the pants from the game." We had an incredible meal at Duke's, it was right on the water with waves crashing on rocks outside the windows. Hula pie for dessert, it was big that the four of us could not finish it. Have I mentioned that our cheeks hurt from laughing so much yet?

Saturday morning early flight out of Orange County to Phoenix to San Antonio to Houston then finally Birmingham, another long day of flying. But it was so worth it!!
