What a nice surprise to have College GameDay come to Iowa City on the weekend we had planned to be there! We got out of Chicago around 6:00 and made a stop at Portillos on our way out of town. Once we got out of Chicago, the drive was smooth sailing (other than Drake missing the I-80 exit). We made a quick drive by on Friday night on our way from Chicago to our hotel in Cedar Rapids to check out the scene (downtown Iowa City was definitely popping).
Saturday was a a full day - checking out the Caitlin Clark court, College GameDay, grabbing a quick bite for lunch, walking over to the west side of campus to get to the tailgate, the boys attending a ridiculous tailgate (it is difficult to convey how crazy the tailgate spot was for the boys), scalping a ticket for Drake to go to the game, watching the game (from a bar or the stadium), happy hour, chilling at Tanner's place, out downtown with the Ultimate Frisbee team and late night pizza.
What a beautiful fall day it was to spend a day together.
