Rose Bowl 2016

Well, the day finally came yesterday. We woke up and had breakfast at Art of Animation across the lagoon from our hotel.

We made it back to the hotel just in time for the Rose Bowl parade. I was a little disappointed as I thought the entire parade would be one dedication to the University of Iowa. It was neat that the parade was a dedication to the National Parks though, but it was different than what I was expecting.

After the parade, we ate lunch at Pollo Tropical and then, we went to Dillards and Publix to get some groceries. We also stopped by my apartment for a little while.

At around 4:30 p.m., we went to the Orlando Iowa Club Rose Bowl watch party. The game was somewhat disappointing, but I still had fun cheering for when they scored. Every small win like a first down seemed like a major victory considering Stanford scored 11 seconds into the game and continued to have some amazing plays. It was still fun to cheer for them one last time in the season. I was more disappointed after the Iowa โ€“ Michigan State game.
