Old Lady

Well I am officially old. Or at least considered old in my book. I have joined the dirty thirty club. Yesterday was my birthday but I celebrated all weekend. After Thanksgiving Mike and I headed up to PSU for the last game of the season. My parents were fortunate enough to join us as well so I was very excited to share my PSU experience with both of them. But Boy oh boy was it a cold weekend. With a high of 30 we were freezing our tails off but as always it was still a great time. Friday afternoon we were able to walk around campus with my parents and of course the trip wouldn't have been complete without a picture with the lion. Friday night we all went out to dinner at The Tavern and enjoyed a great meal and good company.

Saturday it was rise and shine early for a 8:15 departure. The game was at noon so we had to get a few hours of tailgating in before we went into the stadium. It was cold, windy, and snowing but we all had a great time. You can see from our group picture we were all bundled up. The tailgating experience was a first for my parents and they had a blast. They both enjoyed tailgating before the game and we walked up to the stadium to see the team bus pull up and all the players come into the stadium, which is always cool. Then we took another touristy picture with the joe pa statue. As I have said before the Dunklebargers never disappoint so we had a great day. Although PSU couldn't pull out the win it was still fun. After the game we came back to the house to warm up, eat, and watch some of the other good football games. My mom surprised me with a cake so we were all able to enjoy that. ( I still can't believe I am 30!!)

On Sunday Mike and I kept up our Thanksgiving tradition of cutting down our xmas tree. We went to a local tree farm in State College and found a perfect tree for us. Louie was able to help as well. After we found our tree we headed back home to DC. All in all it was a great weekend and I am so thankful for all my friends and family who made it such a special weekend.

Something to look forward to---Mike and I are headed to San Diego this weekend with some friends. So I better start packing! :o)

Here are some pics from our weekend.
