Columbus, O-H-I-O

Yes that's right. My very first trip to Columbus for the sole purpose of attending a home game at the Shoe. We had a great time as you will see from the pictures. My favorite part was going to German Village and getting to eat cabbage rolls at Schmidt's! Delicious! Joel was grossed out but I loved them! The game was fun too but after the first 5 minutes with a score of 27-0 it was anti-climatic. Nevertheless, I'd do it all again. Hope you too enjoy our trip via the pictures.

Here is Schmidt's. I highly recommend strolling through German Village and eating here if you ever find yourself in Columbus.

Here are the fantastic cabbage rolls. I couldn't resist a picture before I dug in. By the way the potato cakes and applesauce were just as delicious!

Here's Brutus Buckeye! We happened to run into him on our way to the Skull Session. I felt kinda silly asking for a picture because the only other people around were little kids but Joel really wanted a picture of us (don't be surprised if it shows up on our Christmas card!). The things one does for love!

Inside the stadium as the football team warmed up. The Shoe is huge and we were part of the 12th largest crowd ever at almost 106,000 people!

Getting ready to dot the I for script Ohio! It truly is the "Best Damn Band in the Land!"

The hot, sweaty and happy couple. We had to celebrate the 58-7 victory with a picture of my first home game.

Finally, here is Woody sporting his new Ohio State collar tag. He's not spoiled at all!
