Last season I had to pleasure of attending the national championship game between Auburn and Oregon with my parents. It was a wonderful family experience, and there is absolutely nothing that can match the feeling of watching your team win a national championship. If you ever get the chance, you better go. It’s worth the money.
Our flight was scheduled to leave at 8 a.m. but an ice storm delayed our flight. We were lucky because it was a charter flight. Some people who were flying commercial didn't even get the chance to make it out there.We made it out to Arizona by about 3 and were able to roam the pre-game festivities before making our way in the stadium.
My dad had what could've been the most popular sign in Glendale. There were so many people stopping to take pictures with him. He was a famous man.

That trip held a lot of first’s for me. First time in an airport, first time sleeping in an airport, first time on a plane, first time in Arizona, and the first time I’d been to a bowl game. The venue wasn’t the best (University of Phoenix Stadium, it was just a complicated situation trying to get all the thousands of people there in the stadium through one gate) but the game was spectacular. It was a close and at times scary game but I honestly wouldn’t have had it any other way. That really did make it that much sweeter when that kick sailed through the uprights and the game-winning points were put on the scoreboard.
It was an amazing time, and I’m proud I can say I was there.
