clemson – The Prep In Pink

Tiger Town Bound

This weekend Clemson played N.C. State at home. It was a perfect chance to catch up with family as they all came home as well. This was a big game for us, as my dad played basketball for the tigers and my sister played for the pack. Whichever team we rooted for, I knew it would be a win-win!

I rooted for the tigers and my sister backed the pack but nothing brings southern girls together like game day. Before kickoff we made our way to the famous football floats, a tiger tradition. Shortly after, we were off to meet the rest of the family by the field.

We scored great seats at the stadium, and as soon as it was time for kickoff, the sun came out. It was a great game but it came to no surprise that Clemson prevailed. With a win under our belts, we were off to celebrate at the tailgate. That night we hit the streets to paint the town orange. What better way to celebrate the day of football than with family and friends?

I’ve got to say… it’s not fall without football! And when I heard the tigers and the wolfpack (two of my favorite teams) were playing each other, I was ready to run to Raleigh. You see, my dad played basketball for Clemson and my older sister played volleyball for N.C. State, so with all these family ties, we couldn’t resist bringing the whole ‘pack’ to the game.

We had the best morning brunching and boozing. Even if we lose the game we always win the tailgate. My sisters and I popped a few bottles and poured some mimosas and headed to join our crew at Lambda Chi Alpha. The wolfpack definitely knows how to party so it was tough to leave the tailgate.

Once we got to the game, I was in awe. The stands were sold out and the crowd was like no other. I couldn’t wait to root for my two favorite teams. This has to be the best way to spend the day: with family, friends, and football. Talk about a win- win!

From Peaches to Beaches

After this chilly Christmas, we were ready to head somewhere sunny and 75. And what better place to spend New Years than in Miami? We hopped off the plane in Palm Beach and cruised down the coast. First stop, Fort Lauderdale!

We sunbathed and sipped champagne all day, and the girls played beach volleyball all night.

We found a few new friends on the way to dinner as we made our way to some yummy dive spots, from The Pirate Republic to my favorite, Bahia Cabana. Both restaurants were local hangouts full of character where you can dine on the water and watch the yachts sail at sunset.

Cruising into Miami, we came across an awesome concert, the Capital One Beach Bash, right on the sands of South Beach, featuring Macklemore and Imagine Dragons!

The biggest event of the trip was the Orange Bowl, where we got to watch Clemson beat Oklahoma in our box seats, what a treat.

Finally we ended our trip with a bang by attending the Anchor Drop in downtown Lauderdale. What better way to kick off the New Year than with your favorite people in your favorite place?
