Three Hours for Fifteen Minutes









My cute parents, me, and Rich made the three hour trip to see UConn play Pitt on Saturday. We had a fun time before the game at The Strip in Pittsburgh and a had a great lunch at Primanti Brothers. Aside from some parking issues before the game and a heartbreaking loss by a field goal, we enjoyed a beautiful fall day and just being together. It never ceases to amaze me how we don't mind traveling pretty much any distance just for a chance to see Chad for 15 minutes after every game before he has to fly home to school. The actual game is just a bonus. We laugh because right now while Chad is not playing, we really only care about getting there before the games start just to see him warm up.
$15 for PA Turnkpike tolls
$24 lunch at Primanti Brothers
$10 for parking at the stadium
$12 for a stadium drink and hot dog
Seeing your boy for 15 minutes after the game... Priceless.
