Homecoming 2006

This past weekend was University of Central Florida's (UCF; our alma mater) Homecoming. For those of you who may not know what Homecoming is, it's a week long celebration culminating with a football game and a lot of drinking. For current college students it's a busy week of entertainment and drinking. For alumni, it's a chance to meet up with old friends, drink and catch up. Nick and I did just that on Saturday.
On Saturday, UCF students and alumni filled the streets of downtown Orlando. It's kind of strange to have all the bars open that early. The parade started at 11am...floats weren't that great this year so we spent most of the time mingling.
We always hope to make it to the football game (4pm). However, because we start drinking so early we never make it that far. Every year the day gets shorter and shorter. This year we were home by 4pm and ready for a nap.
We'll see how long we make it next year! I predict not much later since every year more and more of our friends have kids and are not able to come out or stay long.

This upcoming weekend we have the Disney Master's Art Festival to look forward to. We hope to see the artist from Tennessee that we bought a painting from 2 years ago.
Also, I have a 10K race on Sunday. We'll see how that goes since I haven't been able to run in a week.
'Til next time!
