So during my holiday break, I was fortunate enough to be able to go and watch the Longhorns play Ohio State at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.   Besides the fact that my family and I had to drive to and from Albuquerque to Phoenix through a snowstorm, the trip to watch the game was so worth it.

We started off the Fiesta Bowl day with breakfast at Sprinkles Cupcakes in Scottsdale, where they had special cupcakes made in honor of the Longhorns (see below).  When I saw those scrumptious cupcakes so neatly displayed behind the counter, my New Year’s resolution went flying out the door. Good news, I didn’t gain a single pound during the trip, bad news, I didn’t buy enough to bring home.  So after scarfing down these delicious cupcakes, we headed to the stadium to do some tailgating in the nice warm Arizona weather.    Of course, after tailgating we went to the game where the Longhorns went on to win 24-21.

I almost didn’t have any pictures of the game to share because they almost didn’t let me bring my Canon 5D Mark II into the stadium.  I charmed my way in though and here are some pictures of the trip.

cool cupcakes huh?

yes, even the original horses from those Budweiser commercials were there…
