Rose Bowl 2017

For a few days after Calvin's baby blessing, my parents stayed in town to spend some time with us.  They generously offered to watch the babies one night so Cory and I could have a date night.  We headed up to Grapevine and drove through historic downtown.  They still had it all decked out for Christmas, so we got one last fix in.  It was freezing outside, though, and I was ready to get inside and snuggle up with Cory.


Calvin also came at the perfect time to become indoctrinated in USC Football fandom!  This year the Trojans played in the Rose Bowl, and three generations of Gilmore men were wearing our team garb for the big game.  Dad and I went to the season opener here in Dallas where USC got humiliated by Alabama, so we were hoping for a better showing in the Rose Bowl against Penn State.  The Trojans were down by 14 going into the 4th quarter and things weren't looking good.  Calvin never lost faith, though, and USC scored 17 unanswered points to win 52-49!  It was a great game!


Fight On!
