First off, we woke up a little after 6:00 to get ready and were on the road ten 'till seven. We, of course, had to stop at a Starbucks on the way. Natalie got her mocha fix and I got a coconut steamer. SO YUMMY! After that, we were on the road again...we hit Boston around 8:30. We crossed this really awesome bridge and then went through a tunnel!!!!

We reached Foxboro a little after nine and found some parking. We then found a Subway to eat at. Then we walked around outside the Gillette Stadium until 11 when we got to enter the stadium. Our seats were waaaaayyyyyyyyy high up, so when we first got in we decided to go look at the field. We found an area and went all the way down to the seats that are right of the field. It was fun. We got a few pictures...

Then we moved around the stadium to were the Colts players were practicing. We stood around for a while and took some more pictures...

Looking around at the players, we spotted Peyton Manning talking to some people, but we soon lost him. We kept asking each other "Where did Manning go?"..and then we got to talking to one of the security guards on the field. He pointed over in a direction and said, "So Manning came?" We said yes, he didn't know that despite Manning being hurt, he had been traveling with the team. After we wrapped up the conversation, we looked over to were the guard had pointed and saw Peyton Manning signing autographs. Then we quickly made our way over there and then...wait for it...wait for it...NATALIE GOT PEYTON MANNING'S AUTOGRAPH AND I TOOK PICTURES OF HER WITH PEYTON MANNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SPOKE TO PEYTON MANNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TOUCHED A PIECE OF PAPER THAT PEYTON MANNING TOUCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH! MY! GOSH!!!!!! It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that awesome experience, we watched the players practice and then we decided to go to our seats. We went up, up, up, and up. Then we went up some more and up some more. Then up, up, up, and up. After going up some, we went up some more. lol.

After finding our seats, we watched the game. WHOOOHOOO!!!!Watching the game was soooo much fun. Natalie and I were practically the only Colts fan in the area, but most of the time our cheering was louder than the Patriots fan, which I found very amusing. :D In the end, the Patriots won the game, but the Colts and Dan Orlovsky almost pulled of the upset of the century...and so ends the story of the most awesome Sunday!!!!!!!!!
Another great part of Sunday was that the Packers won their 12th game and remain undefeated. YIPPEE!!!!!
"That's All Folks!"
Mark has been looking for an opportunity to tease Natalie about how badly the Colts have been playing. But, the sincerity and sweetness of this post has changed his mind. Seems like it was an awesome and memorable day. Great pics, too! :)
ReplyDeleteTell Mark he can still tease Natalie, I still do. :D It will be fun to see you in 11 days.
