Bama v Va Tech in ATL

Tim, Tanya and Jonathan took the RV to ATL on Thursday night.  Easy set up!  Ivan and Chris arrived via MARTA on Friday morning.  Taco Mac was our choice for lunch and we grilled out steak on Friday night. Problem #1: Tanya forgot the Kraut for the Timz Dogzs.  Sent a text to Leah and to Amy.  Amy responded and whoooo, she went to WalMart and saved Tanya butt.  Problem #2: Getting the RV ready for eveyone to sleep and Tanya realizes that there is NOT a pump for inflated bed on which Ivan is to sleep.  Hair dryer to the rescue but it is SLOW.  Then the compressor and we finally get the bed inflated. Problem # 3: Bed goes flat during the night as Ivan is sleeping on it.  Bed is thrown away on Saturday morning.

Saturday morning saw the arrival of the Duncan's,  Amy, Steve, James and Leah.  Nan and Ellen, and John and Brenda joined the tailgate.  Saturday morning also brought some RV trials.  Problem #4:Water shortage and problem #5: a flat tire!  Steve and Tim went to a store and purchased water which had to be poured into the RV tank.  The tire was inflated.  Now to make Timz Dogz and problem # 6: Tanya forgot to pack the roller part of the hot dog cooker!  Fire up the gill.  40  hotdogs later and everyone is enjoying a Timz Dogz.  Then the Chick Fila folks came by and gave everyone a sandwich!  WOW!  Then the ice cream girls came and gave everyone an ice cream sandwich.  Cool! Barry and Evan visited.  Barry helped us find the radios needed for the game.  Finally it is game time Bama wins! WHOOOOO

Our seats in the DOME were terrific.  Yes, we were on row 4 but it was terrific.  We were directly behind the team on the 40 yd line.  I love the strength and conditioning coach.  He is a wild man. He ran around the side line all night making sure the players were fired up and beliving that they can win in the 4th quarter.  Tim made friends when we sat down.  What a small world!  The man beside Tim was from Dothan and the lady in front of him was also from Dothan and graducated from Northview HS. Go Cougars!  The game was terrific.  I love college football.  It was a great game!  RTR

Sunday pack up was easy until we realized that problem #4:  the tire was once again flat.  Tire inflated and we are off. Time to dump the tanks.  Exit 19 here we come only to find out Problem # 7: the city of Temple has CLOSED the dump station. Finally we find a campground and are going to pay to dump.  Problem #8, the spot we pull into - the drain is full.  Finally we move to another spot, pay, dump and continue home.  Fuel is needed, gas station found and fuel added.  

Camping World here we come.  We need chemicals and a right angle tire valve since that is what is causing the flats.  Supplies gather and we finally reach home.  Great Weekend! RTR
