FAMILY WEEKEND - GA TECH

Family Weekend at Georgia Tech gave us a chance to visit with friends and family, see our son's new fraternity house and watch a fantastic football game! My Mom got a hug from Buzz at the pregame parade.


The players walk to the stadium before the game slapping fans' hands. These two guys made a fantastic play when they recovered a North Carolina fumble later in the game. #1 Morgan Burnett, a 6' 1" junior from College Park, was awarded ACC Defensive Player of the Week!

The "Wreck" getting ready to drive down the parade route.
Here's my youngest son's brand new fraternity house (Phi Kappa Tau). It's the first LEED certified (leadership in energy and environmental design) fraternity house in the United States.
It really is beautiful with paneled library, chef's kitchen, each room with it's own bathroom, several courtyards, basement with theater and pool table and yes, a laundry room!
The library........with Tech yearbooks.

Before the game there is a bar-b-q on the Tech Lawn. Forgive me, my UGA friends, but I had to get a cute little "Buzz" spray painted on my face! You do crazy things for your children!

Buzz does push ups after each touchdown is scored!
As you can tell from the angle of the photo, we had VERY HIGH seats........two rows from the TOP of the stadium! At least you could see the whole field and had a nice breeze.
Here's the whole gang, oldest son with his girlfriend, youngest son and Tech student, my mom and my husband.
The rain waited until the last few minutes of the game. Luckily I brought plenty of ponchos! Tech won the game 24-7.
