So, Georgia Tech and Iowa were scheduled to play at the Orange Bowl this year in Florida. In case you didn't know, Scott's side of the family are BIG Georgia Tech fans. Michael, Brooke's husband, went to Iowa. When news broke that they would be playing each other, the guys were making plans to go to Florida!
It was a great scenario for a super trip down to Florida. We couldn't have planned it any better!
Michael's brother and sister-in-law, Phillip & Annette, live in Dania Beach and were GREAT hosts! They took great care of us while we were visiting!
(I stole your picture, Pat!)
Also, Michael's mom and dad, Mark & Pat, were in Fort Lauderdale getting away from the cold Illinois weather on their boat. We played dominos on Monday night and Mark took us on a cruise along the intercoastal waterway!

This picture is decieving! It was COLD and WINDY! 
Even better, my friends, Amy & Javier, live very close and met us for dinner on their due date! I was very impressed with their adventurous attitude! Not sure if I would be going anywhere on my due date! (FYI: No baby that I have heard of yet!)
A nice father & sons night out! Mark put on his fun football face! (He's not much of a football fan.)We were so proud of him for putting on his gameface!
It was soooo cold! Definitely NOT your typical South Florida weather!
Look who I found! I used to go to high school and was in band with Shana. And, me, Shana and her now-husband worked at Chick-fil-a together during our high school days.
