January 20th – 21st
Indiana vs Penn State – Men’s Basketball – ESPN
Travelled midday on Wednesday – since I was going to the worst state in the country, my mood wasn’t the best.
Flying into State College is always a gamble. You never know if you are gonna land in one piece or not!
The aircraft is almost always a prop plane. Which makes me nervous where ever I am going.
And the overhead bin space is about 7 inches tall. I have to pretty much take everything out of my backpack in order to get in in.
It’s a very small airport – the plane pretty much taxis right up to the building.
The weather was pretty crappy. It wasn’t snowing though!
It’s been a few years since I have been here – so I drove around for a little while.
Beaver Stadium
Nittany Lion Statue on campus
Many years ago, while working a football game here, my friends Tim & Brandy were in town for the game. We had a wild night on the town – and we stumbled around for hours looking for this damn cat! So every time I am back, I am always sure to visit him.
Tim & Brandy are old friends from when I lived in Orlando. They lived in the apartment below me. The have since lived all over the country and have 3 beautiful children.
Downtown State College is actually pretty cool; lots of places to drink, eat & interesting little shops. I have stayed at the Days Inn – which is GREAT location if you want to be in the heart of it all. I literally had drunk students passed out under my window when I stayed there.
Probably my favorite place is the Nittany Lion Inn. It’s very old and quaint. Right in the middle of campus.
This time we were at a Hilton Garden Inn… which is easily one of my favorite hotel flavors. But the location of this one sucked.
I got settled in and spent the afternoon catching up on email. So nice to have an afternoon/evening to myself!
I ordered room service and had a quiet night.
Thursday morning I hit the gym and then on to work.
Jason and I went to lunch at Chipotle and then sat at Starbucks for awhile. Always nice to have an actual lunch break.
The game went really good!
Friday morning I headed back to the airport for my next adventure!
