Purdue for my birthday

We went down to Purdue on Sat 11/14 to hang out with my friend Sherry and her husby. I had planned on going to have a mini-reunion with some of my sorority sisters. Well, the one from Texas came up and just 3 others. They were tailgating before and after the game, (which we lost to Michigan State). We didn’t get out to the bars until 4pm. I texted M, but she had already left the bars.

We went to Harry’s first for the must-have Long Island..PurdueNov09 006

T got Bud Light and they were in awesome Black & Gold-Purdue colors!PurdueNov09 007 

It was pretty crowded in there, as normal, and we were standing upstairs. We decided that we needed to get something to eat so we headed to Jake’s. So happy to find a booth as ppl were leaving, too! We ended up hanging out there until 10pm! So fun! But felt kind of old.
