Auburn, Come On with the Parking Rules!

So, we finally make it back to Auburn for the big game this past weekend. I'm so pumped to take Kade to tailgate for the very first time. We always go hang out with Jennifer & Darcy and their families. We miss you, Tiff! She's too busy flying around the country. Anyway, we were all having a grand ole time for a couple of hours before I headed to take Kade to the babysitter. I was meeting Kevin at the car, and I got the call. He was lost. Suddenly, my heart felt like it dropped a foot. As I watched the tow truckers go to town on the way, I felt sick to my stomach. We had been towed from the place we have parked for the past several years. There is no where to park unless you purchase a spot, or you live in a condo/apt./whatever. Therefore, people are actually buying condos so they have a place to hang out and a spot to park! Well, they do have the money and it would be amazing. And, the tow folks are throwing high fives as they pick up these cars at $100 a pop. I wanted to get my car as quick as possible since I had a 7 month old that needed to go to bed at some point that night. My dear friend, Jennifer, was going to drop me off and as we were getting my car, somehow, her car locked while she held the key device but the actual keys were still in it and it was running! Luckily, I had just gotten Kade out. What else could happen? We called AAA who then dispatched a guy in Miami! Like, he was going to help. The police department wouldn't help unless the baby was in the car, or an animal. It didn't matter that we had a pregnant lady, a baby screaming his head off and we were in a parking lot/garage that was right out of a scene from Adventures in Babysitting. Nightmare. After AAA failed us, we decided to leave the car (running), get the extra key from Eric so he and Kevin could go ahead and go in to the game since they were chomping at the bit. Once we went back, I had had enough. I opted out of the game. All I really wanted to do was curl up with my little man, Kade and go to sleep. Not sure we will be back this season. That was enough frustration for a while. We will head to GA Tech to see my little brother. Anyway, we did have a wonderful time spending the night at the Lake with the Baileys! And, we managed to get some more adorable photos of Special K.
