and fun to boot! Last night, Robert and I attended the NFL Alumni Texas Hold'em Tournament at the ESPN Zone in Buckhead (Altanta). Bobby and Cheryl, who we met at Darwin's a couple of months ago, invited us to the event and it was a blast.
In addition to the Texas Hold'em Tournament, good food and drinks, retired NFL players and some of the Atlanta Falcon's cheerleaders were raffling off opportunities to have your picture taken with them. Both Robert and I had our pix taken with the cheerleaders, then I had one taken with all of the players.
Because we got there a little late, we missed out on the first two elimination rounds of the tourny, but one of the dealers let Robert sit in for a few hands. Lesson learned; good hand does not necessarily equate to winning. Oh well, it was fun anyway.
There were also several sports memorabilia items being auctioned off, such as Mohammed Ali's autographed trunks for $650. Robert and I perused the silent auction items, bid and won! Here is the pix of the Hank Aaron autographed baseball we took home last night. Yeah!
The entire benefit was held to raise funds for a local charity, the Cavaliers Childrens Home, so going home with a little less green in the pocket was well worth it! One can't put a price on the good times we had or a good cause!
