Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!  We have been up to some fun things lately.  First, in honor of the Halloween spirit we carved our annual pumpkin.  Brandon did most of the carving while I baked the seeds.

 

The Finished Product

This past weekend we headed back up to Raleigh to watch the Pack take on Florida State with our friend Kyle.  We tailgated with some homemade BBQ, potato salad, dirty rice, beer and brandy slush.  YUM!  What an amazing game!  The Wolfpack held on to beat the Seminoles who were ranked #16 in the nation.  We also had our first experience with Priceline for hotels.  We booked the Country Inn and Suites near the airport for $58 through Priceline when it is normally priced $112/night.  What a deal!  We had an awesome time, as always, and enjoyed the big win!

This past weekend we headed to Raleigh with my parents to watch the Wolfpack take on Boston College.  Of course, the Pack won uncontested!  We had a great time at the game, besides the 90* heat, complete with a good ol' southern Bojangles Tailgate before the game.  

After the victory, we headed to our hotel where there was some drama, drama, drama.  Both my parents and Brandon and I booked King Non-smoking rooms.  When we got there, the clerk proceeded to very rudely inform us that there were only smoking double rooms available.  Of course, we fought it and she magically came up with a King room for my parents but nothing for Brandon and I, except for the handicapped room.  She told us the only difference in the handicapped room is that it did not have a tub, which led us to believe there was an enclosed water closet shower.  Boy were we wrong!  We get to our room to find a tile floor in the shower with a floor drain and a curtain hanging from the ceiling!!  So basically we got nothing that we reserved at the hotel except for the free waffles the next morning.  My mom called the manager of the hotel and ended up getting both rooms comped to us for free, so in the end it all worked out.  After the drama at the hotel, we headed to one of our favorite restaurants in Raleigh, the Village Draft House, for some burgers and beers.  Our close friend Kyle came and picked us up after dinner and we headed out downtown for the evening to catch up with him.  We had a great time!!  We love getting out of town, even for just a night, and can't wait to go back to Raleigh again or possibly move back one day!!  GO WOLFPACK!!
