San Diego Holiday Bowl 2008

In and around San Diego, United States

20 years after Barry Sanders won the Heisman Trophy and capped off his career at Oklahoma State with a victory in the Holiday Bowl, the Cowboys and the Travling Kings are headed back to San Diego.

Four days in San Diego will be sandwiched by three traveling days out and back.

Go POKES!! So when do the Jello shots come out? I think you should quit your day job and work for the Travel Channel! Don't forget the suntan lotion as you enjoy the warm, sunny weather.

I have enjoyed traveling along via your blog. The photos & descriptions are excellent, I give it a 10 - out of 10. I noticed days with short sleeve shirts - I think it would have to be warm to endure the drenching of Shamu. I wish the Traveling Kings a safe return and lots more fun on the way.

Sounds like you have been enjoying your trip so far...well except for the loss. I am really sorry. I have to say I was only a little sad when I found out because I found out right after we got in the car to leave Bud Walton Arena to drive home along side with a bunch of really sad OU fans. It was a beautiful site. Have a safe trip home. GO HOGS!! GO POKES!!

What an exciting adventure for the King Family. With Steve and Scott as responsible adults, it has the ingredients to be a "Griswald" good time.
