This post is a little late now that we're three games into the season, but here are some pics from our trip to Atlanta for the Bama/Clemson season opener. My brother, David, and his girlfriend, Shelby (both freshman at UA), drove over with us from Bham and then Liz, Robert's sister, and her husband, Mike, met us there. We really had a great weekend roaming Atlanta, navigating Atlanta's public transit system, and seeing and hanging out with family and friends. Several of our good college friends came, so it was great to have a little reunion - especially since wedding season is officially over and we aren't seeing each other as much. The game was certainly a highlight, though Mike might not say so.
Here we are at the Marta station waiting to ride into downtown to catch some of GameDay at Olympic Park.

Robert and Liz. Notice what colors she's wearing and where this Clemson grad's loyalties are.
So, the Marta ride was a little long - or maybe Sheby is asleep because GameDay starts at an ungodly hour of the morning.
Robert and Mike trying to figure out which stop we are supposed to get off on. Can you tell we are a bunch of suburban-raised kids? Actually, the boys did quite well navigating the public transit system. I would have surely gotten lost alone.
What a happy bunch.

At the CNN Center for lunch where we met up with Ashley, Amy, Matt, Ben, J-Go....pretty much the whole gang and the rest of the 70K+ Bama and Clemson fans who came to the game and cramed in for lunch. It was packed out.
