Welcome to Detroit City

^that was the anthem that played in my head through my entire trip. Ha. Also, I was extremely bummed that eminem wasn't playing on every radio station in the Detroit metro area! I loved when berserk played every so often and was stoked that the last words I heard as I approached the airport were 'vomit on my sweater already, moms spaghetti...' Ha. GREAT trip to Ann Arbor, what an awesome college town with the perks of a large city only 35 minutes away. BIG shoutout to the Ms. Leah Canvasser!!! A wonderful tour guide and host throughout my stay! Couldnt have asked for anything more or anyone better. Sidebar. Great Instagram roast of Alyssa. #GoBlue . The BIG House was awesome. A gigantic stadium with rich history and cold Midwest weather made for the perfect combination and Ann Arbor game day experience. I cannot believe how packed the stadium was, what if the Beavers had the same following and support! The college town is very active and young with a lot of people constantly out and about despite the freezing weather. Maize and Blur covered the town and don't even think about wearing red or green. 

I also was very fortunate to scalp $120 tickets for $40 to the Bengals vs. Lions game. Ford Field wasn't like any other stadium I have been in and had a large feel with a cozy side of baby blue. MEGATRON is back! So glad I got to see his first BIG game in a few and he carried my team to victory... Good thing I have friends that don't know how to trade....

Go Blue! S/o Leah Canvasser!!

KNOXvegas

3 hours and 33 minutes north of our humble apartment in Atlanta, nests a college town known for Peyton Manning and an abundance of Volunteer hours. This. Is. KNOXVEGAS!!!! I know Lucas won't agree, but Corvallis and Knoxville are very similar. Both fun college towns. Both with mediocre football teams. Both with strong Greek communities. Both wear orange on game days. I had a fun time meeting with the Phi Delta chapter and was welcomed with true Southern Hospitality (which in fact is a REAL thing my west coast homies!). A cool town that loves their Vols and prides themselves that they are in the SEC. 

Neyland Stadium is truly unbelievable and I was speechless at how loud it got during the game. What a battle vs. Georgia and a heartbreaking touchback left a lot of Vols sad to see their Smokey Grey Uniforms defeated in overtime. 105,000 people packed the stadium that still was a sea of orange! I couldn't believe that they still and have always played on real grass field, I feel most college teams play on Astro-Turf. Cool tailgate scene and a wonderful atmosphere that will be tough to top! #GoBeavs 

Seanye. Out.

Packed!

Plattsburgh, New York

Flew into Burlington Vermont. Beautiful landing; over the colored leaves changing and the wonderful fall in the northeast. Drove 46 minutes down a quiet and slightly curvy road. Loved the peaceful drive that wasn't over packed and was a great change of pace from the densly packing Atlanta. I rolled the windows down and soaked up the crisp autumn breeze and could smell thanksgiving dinner that is coming up quick! Man. I really enjoy a crisp sunny fall day and glad that was how I was introduced to the northeast. I arrived at Gordon Landing, a thank you, and boarded the Cumberland Head - Grand Isle Ferry. I expected a ferry similar to the one I took in Seattle to get to my parents new place, but was humbly surprised by a ferry that maybe held a total of 25 vehicles. I cruised on and we were en route to New York! Cool, funky little college town. Very nice country sides and  loved seeing color changing leaves on trees. < One thing that I really miss about Oregon. The university is 6,000 students strong and they have a fun college town atmosphere. I had a marathon on a Wednesday with 11 meetings but was able to take a nice break and watch the Omicron Theta boys dominate in Intramural Football (I think my Epsilon Delta class could take then though...). Meeting a went well, guys were excited to hear my input (I think) and they are ready to hit the ground running this term. Beautiful area and a great visit! 

Seanye. Out.
