Sundays in My City - The Swamp

My hometown is Gainesville, Florida. We live in a small town just outside of Gainesville now, and we work in Gainesville, shop in Gainesville, etc.

John and I are both huge fans of the University of Florida Gators. I'm a lifelong fan, and John became a fan when he moved here in elementary school. Our kids are big Gator fans as well.

Some college towns don't really get excited over their college teams, even their football teams, or so I've heard.

Not so in Gainesville, Florida.

We are different. We are special. We are slightly crazy.

For example, Saturday was the scrimmage game. A practice game, basically. It's called the Orange and Blue Debut game.

Over 51,000 fans showed up for this game.
We love our Gators.

So for my Sundays in my City feature today, I'm bringing you to The Swamp....Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida. Home of The Gators.

Where the Gators play...

home of Gatorade

awesome players & former players graciously signed tons of autographs

we packed the stands today!

Our mascots are Albert & Alberta

It was a beautiful day in the Swamp. And the Gators won! {ha ha ha}

It's great...to be...a Florida Gator!

Fragging Time

For once I'm actually not ecstatic to see Friday come around! Not because of Friday Fragments, of course - I always look forward to those! - but because it means Spring Break is over. We've had a really great week! I'm going to post all about our vacation later, but right now.....it's time to Frag!

*Sorry I'm late on my fragments...I just woke up! *ah* I love vacation.

* Today is our anniversary! Five fabulous years. We're going to have a nice dinner out tonight.

* The rest of the weekend will be spent packing & moving.....we found a totally amazing house just a couple of miles down the road and snatched it up. The kids are SO excited! It's on 6.5 acres, has 4 bedrooms (one more than we have now), so many other amazing features. The one the kids are most excited about? An inground POOL!

* Have I mentioned I hate moving? I truly hope this is our last move for many years. We haven't had good luck with houses but I'm pretty sure our luck has changed this time!

* My husband is an obsessive packer. He had a ton of stuff already packed early this week. I hate living out of boxes! I think he'd have me packed in a box if I'd let him.

* I slept so well on vacation....because there were no dogs crowding the bed! I was actually able to move around and get comfortable. And yet....I couldn't wait to get home to my puppies!

* The kids haven't stayed in hotels much....Elayna was delighted to see the little hair dryer in the bathroom! It's the little things....

Alright, I think that's about it. It's time to start celebrating our anniversary! Hope you all have a wonderful Spring weekend

and are enjoying some wonderful Spring weather!
