Mimosas to start the morning right.
Group Shot including my husband, my daughter, her boyfriend and my sister and brother in law.
Early morning on campus.
Big Ten Tailgate live broadcast.
For a noon football kickoff, we need to be waiting in line at the parking lot at 7:00 that morning. That means leaving my house well before the sun is up or any sane person is awake on a Saturday morning. But, it's worth it when we arrive on campus and see we are not the only ones excited for the day. We quickly set up our tents, food tables and chairs and got down to enjoying the morning and anticipating the big game against Wisconson.
We had a table set up for mimosas (real glasses of course) and three other tables full of breakfast food. We even had someone making (to order) Crossaint Sandwiches. It was a little chilly to start the morning, but after the sun started to warm things up, we were fine in our sweatshirts.
The Big Ten Network had their first ever live tailgate show right next to our tailgate spot, so we were able to walk over to that area a few times and see what was going on. It was interesting to see their live broadcast and we might have even been in a background shot on television. I won't say too much about the actual game, because it was a bad day for Spartan Nation, but win or lose, the tailgating is always fun.
My contribution to the breakfast menu was Baked French Toast with Struesel Topping. It is great for early mornings, because you prepare it the night before and bake it when you wake up. It's delicious too served with a little warm maple syrup.
Happy Monday!
Now that is a real tailgate menu with tents, tables and mimosas.
ReplyDeleteYum to that baked French toast! Someone has to win and someone has to lose, but having fun before the game and coming together with family and friends is where the soul can be found.

ReplyDeleteThat's SERIOUS tailgating fun! Sorry you had to get the loss, but you sure had a gorgeous day and it sounds like fun anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a fun day out. French toast with streusel topping - yum! Your book club sounds much more fun than mine held at the local library! Enjoy the rest of the week. xx
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be right next to the Big Ten Network tailgate! But how not fun to lose the game. Sadly we know a lot about that this year. For only the second time in the 41 years I've been attending ND football games I left early.
