Isaac's 30 Birthday and CATS win the SEC!!!

Isaac celebrated his 30th birthday on March 9th! We left town that day to head up to CATlanta to cheer on the UK Wildcats to an SEC victory. We met up with my parents and Perry, and basically, ate lots of great food, watched some awesome UK basketball, and slept like babes those four days-just what we needed.

Here's Isaac on his big day after driving 6 1/2 hours from Tampa to Atlanta...

Perry aka Yoder Gatortail ("Yoder" for his Amish-looking beard and "Gatortail" for his odd haircut that looks like a really fat rat-tail in the back) and Isaac goofing off at dinner...what else would you expect with these two?
Perry, Isaac, Me, Mom and Dad at dinner at Stats for dinner after the Cats beat Ole Miss. Stats was the Kentucky Sports Radio headquarters and, surprisingly for a sports bar, had a great menu.


The Cats beat Alabama in their next game to make it to the Championship game...

After the UK fans cleared out each day, we got to move out of our cheap seats towards the floor.

Saturday night, we all went to the Buckhead Diner for dinner. The Buckhead Diner is very upscale for a diner, but looks like a classic diner from the outside...except for the valet parking. The crabcakes are incredible as well as the chocolate chip creme brulee. Perry was enthralled with the old-school cigarette vending machine-not sure what we are going to do with that boy!


Championship game: UK Wildcats vs. UF Gators

UK fans far out-numbered the UF fans...Rupp South was loud as ever!


We enjoyed all of the usual fanfare, cheers, and music-just like when we were in college.

The CATS won the SEC championship-Happy Birthday to Isaac!-that birthday gift worked out great!!!



Now we are all ready to watch the CATS play in Tampa this week in the NCAA tournament!
