Road Trip with Ma & Pa- To Green Bay

In October (yes, I'm still catching up with posts for the past 3 months) Mike & I cashed in our Christmas present from Mom & Dad for 2010- a road trip adventure to wherever our hearts desired! Well, we all know where Mike's heart lies, right in Lambeau Field of course! And we thought it would be a great choice to pick a Packers game road trip to Green Bay, especially because Dad (a since-childhood Packer fan) hadn't witnessed a game at Lambeau- ever- as he only got to see them back when they played in Milwaukee (sorry Dad, if that dates you a bit!)

We hit the road to Green Bay enjoying local Wisconsin beer and cheese curds along the way. In no time at all we were exploring Green Bay and enjoying delish food at Brett Favre's Steakhouse.

Up and at 'em early Sunday morning for their game against the Miami Dolphins; we were some of the first fans to arrive to the stadium! We had an awesome spot and enjoyed a tailgate breakfast, catch, wandering & shopping the Packer Pro Shop.

Even though the Pack couldn't pull off a win (so close in overtime!) that day we had a blast! Thanks Mom & Dad for a great trip!

Biting the Big Apple: Part 2

The morning after the wedding (see Biting the Big Apple Part#1) we made our way by train to the heart of NYC and checked into the Roosevelt Hotel, explored the highest floor you can get to in the Empire State Building, trekked to Little Italy in the middle of the celebration of St. Genaro for the famous Lombardi's Pizza, took in the Broadway show Rock of Ages which was so much fun and totally 80's-tastic, and ended the night with a midnight pretzel in ever-bustling Times Square. It was a whirlwind day but fantastic- could've used several more days but there is always next time!
