Zipping off to Pennsylvania at O-Dark-30 this morning with Mrs. BGA. We will split up once we reach the Keystone State with one of us heading south for Philadelphia and Franklin Field and the other continuing on to the north-central part of the state for Parents Weekend in State College. The trip to Happy Valley will include a tour of Beaver Stadium, which costs half again what a game at Memorial Field costs despite the fact that the Nittany Lions are on the road ;-)
