Thursday was game day and thankfully my mom was feeling much better. When we got to Pasadena we went to an Alabama tailgate with lots of food and even some of the band and cheerleaders there to entertain the fans. We spent a few hours at the tailgate and then made our way into the Rose Bowl--which was such a neat stadium. My mom and I were in the Texas end zone about 9 rows up from the bottom. We had excellent seats and were happy to see that there were quite a few Bama fans around us. It was an exciting game and I am glad that Bama pulled out the big win!
Friday was our last day in California and we went on a tour of the celebrity homes and other big sites around Hollywood. We saw Michael Jackson's house, the Spelling Mansion, the intersection where Lindsay Lohan got her DUI and many more landmarks. Our tour also took us down a road where the stars do most of there shopping and guess what? We saw a celebrity! We saw the paparazzi huddled outside of a store and a few minutes later out walked Melanie Griffith. Friday night we went to dinner with the Denson family- Lura's future in-laws. CD is the youngest Denson boy and is Lura's fiance. His oldest brother married one of my sorority sisters, Julia Kelley, who is expecting her first child this summer!! It was so great to see her and to catch up on all that God is doing in her life. I am so excited for her and Joe as they prepare for baby Denson. The trip was wonderful and I want to thank my mom and dad for giving me the chance to go on such a great trip. Also, thanks to my sweet husband for letting me go for a few days. I know it must have been hard for him to stay at home and work while I went to the biggest football game of the year. He is so good to me!
