Life on Florida’s West Coast

Love My Redskins

Back on September 5th I blogged about how even though I live right here where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the “home team”, my home team is still the Washington Redskins. I was born in the DC suburbs and lived there until I was 18. I moved back for several years after college, as well. It’s as close to a hometown that I have, though I am actually in the market for one that will meet my needs a little better ;)

You don’t see a whole lot of Redskins t-shirts or other fan gear down this way. I get pretty excited when I do spot a Skins jersey or hat. I just got home from taking Gigi to her swimming lesson and as I was sitting in the early evening sun (90 degrees), I looked over and a little toddler girl came walking by all dressed up in a little Redskins cheerleader outfit! You can bet I got into a great conversation with her mom. Turns out we are from neighboring towns in Virginia.

I was browsing around the Official Washington Redskins site online and feeling little misty eyed. I still have firm memories of going to both of the Superbowl victory parades in the 80s. I could do without the Redskins Crocs, though.

GO SKINS! I’m a big Redskins fan, was really born into it as all my family and extended family are Skins fans. Good to hear we got another one out there. Hope you’re well!

I used to live down there, I’m a big skins fan. MD suburbs, but how the Dan treated Gregg Williams is quite annoying.
