We arrived on campus just as the parade was starting. Carter enjoyed the band and cheerleaders before we took a quick break to grab a photo of the Holden men and the Ramblin Wreck.
The wreck led off the classic car part of the parade. After that came the floats. I think this one was Colin's favorite (read the sign on the right first).
The theme for Homecoming was Mardi Gras so Carter scored some beads!
After some more floats...
It was time for dad's favorite part of the parade.... the wrecks. These entries can't be powered by the vehicle's primary propulsion. In non-engineering speak, this means people have to come up with clever ways to power the vehicle besides a car engine. There is no requirement that they be attractive looking though.
After the parade, we ran a few errands and then went home for naps. Grandmommy came over to watch Carter so mom and dad could head back to campus. We had a fun time tailgating without children. It's definitely much more relaxing. Also since it was homecoming there were a ton of people on campus and we had a lot of fun catching up with old friends.

Soon it was time for the game, GT got their swagger back this week and put on a fabulous performance against #5 Clemson. There were lots of Touchdowns to celebrate...
And as all big wins require, things ended with the obligatory rushing of the field.
It was a very long but very fun day!
