Brandon and I want to make a tradition of going to at least 1 NFL game a year so we can see several stadiums. So far we have been to a Kansas City Chiefs game, and we've been to Cowboys Stadium (but we don't count it since we saw the Hogs there), and now we've been to Green Bay to see a Packers game. We got there Thursday and went straight to Lambeau Field. We had lunch there and took the tour which was awesome b/c we got to see areas you can't see on game day and really learned the history of the facility and the Packers. That night we went to an open practice for the team, SO FUN! The players are right in front of you and the fans really turn out to support their team! On Friday we headed up the "coast", at least that's what it seems like...lots of little coastal towns with fun shops, bars, breweries, and restaurants. We also went to a few state parks and thoroughly enjoyed our drive. Saturday morning we headed out to the Tall Ships Festival that was docked in Green Bay for the weekend. We got to tour at least 4 ships including the Bounty which is used in movies such as Pirates of the Carribean and some of the oldest ships still on the waters. It was so cool and since Brandon is such a history buff, it was a bonus it was going on that same weekend. Saturday night was the Green Bay v. Cleveland Browns...we forgot the camera! We had club seats with our own server and were spoiled rotten, now it will be hard to walk to get my own hot dog :) The weather was fabulous...hot for them, but a 20 degree break for us! Such a fun getaway!
