SoCal Football Season, 2010

Not a whole lot to say here in terms of description other than that football season pretty much puts travel out of the picture for a couple months.  I like to think of it a my two month book on the couch break :)  Both Penn State and USC had pretty lackluster seasons this year, although I can happily say PSU gets to head to the Outback Bowl come January.    But what I miss out in PSU tailgating, we certainly try to make up for at USC...

It's no Penn State, and I certainly get some interesting looks in my PSU gear but a girl's gotta represent.  One tradition I'll never get on board with - Bloody Mary's, especially not the maple bacon variety seen below.  Mimosa's all the way!

(Clearly Ryan can hardly contain his excitement)

We also had a party for Ryan's Birthday at the end of September and he chose to go with an old-timey cocktail theme, mixing drins for everyone all night long.  Sadly, my cake didn't get the memo.  At least it tasted good!
