Gabriel took his first trip to Chapel Hill yesterday for the first football game of the season against McNeese State. We stopped in Burlington on the way to hit the Carter's Outlet for some fall clothes and got to Franklin Street around 2:30. Gabriel got his first game-day tattoo at the Shrunken Head (Cynthia's FAVORITE store---saw your old buddy there, she was just as cute as ever, ha ha)! We did a little shopping then headed over to our new tailgate site, which is WAY far away from the stadium, near the outdoor theatre. For those of you who have been to one of our tailgates before, the previous location was steps away from the stadium, right in the middle of all the action. Needless to say, I miss it :( Our spot is being turned into a parking deck...
Gabriel was an absolute angel all day, especially considering it was over 90 degrees. He was amazed by all the people in the stadium and just kept looking around and taking it ALL in. There was a weather delay in the 2nd quarter due to lightning, and it looked like it was going to let loose with rain at any minute, so we left. Thank goodness, we made it back to our car just as it began to pour! They eventually did finish the game and the Heels one, but barely...All in all, it was a great trip to my alma mater. I tell you, going back there with a kid kind of made me feel old :)
Tomorrow is Labor Day, so Gaby and I have the day off. Cedric has to work of course, it is usually a big day for them. We are having lunch at my Grandma's, then if the weather is nice, I am going to let Gaby swim in his little pool, it might be the last time this summer. I am hoping for a very relaxing day, let's see if the little one cooperates!
