Friday night was a very special night in many ways. First, some time ago, I had asked Jenna, my granddaughter, to do something special around my birthday. Thinking she might choose UI women's basketball. Instead, she chose IU women's gymnastics which I have never attended. We also included her mom, Nicole, and headed to Iowa City for a special evening.
We first went to the Hamburg Inn 2 in downtown Iowa City for a bite to eat before the match. The Hamburg Inn 2 is a very special place to eat in Iowa City that has been around since 1948. The food is excellent and if you have never been there you are in for a very special treat!
From there we headed to Hawkeye Carver Arena and the meet. We were all in for a very special treat. The crowd was bigger than anticipated and all the hoopla before the match started was quite impressive. The opponent was the Maryland Terrapins. Yes, I know that's a long way away, but, they are now in the Big Ten Conference.
In the end the Hawks edged them out by a very close score. All in all, we all enjoyed the event, especially Jenna. And, in case you didn't know a Terrapin is a type of sea turtle common to that area!
