Patriots Playoff Game

My brother invited me to a Patriots Playoff Game so I had to go! His boss gave him two tickets for Christmas. The tickets were awesome, 2nd row on the 40 yard line behind the Patriots bench! Even though the Pats lost to the damn Jets, I still had a great time. Thanks for sharing, Chris!!!

First tailgating spot.

May not look cold but let's just say we didn't need to ice our beer...

Second tailgating spot, right in front of the stadium.

They were grilling at the second spot.

Chris and I inside the stadium.

Chris and I at our seats.

Here come the Patriots.

Defense sat in front of us the most.

Brady and Welker warming up.

Coaches going over stuff with the defense.

Coach Belichick wearing a hoodie with cut-off sleaves! I picked up a Belichick hoodie for Maria while I was there since she let me go and I love her.

I got a high-five from Pat Patriot and I was on the jumbotron - I'm sort of like a celebrity now.

View from our seats.

Crumpler and Tate - a couple of Carolina boys.

Edelman and Brady walking by.

MA Trip

My brother got a couple tickets to the playoff game between the Patriots and the Jets and invited me. So I went up to Massachusetts to see the game and hang out with my brother and his family. Here are some pictures from my trip. Game pictures will come in another post.

From the airport we went staight to Foxboro to visit the Patriots Hall of Fame and Pro Shop. Here is a picture of Chris and I looking in on Gillette Stadium. It was COLD walking around Patriot Place.

Belichick's hooded sweatshirt in the Pats Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was way cooler than I thought it would be and Chris and I really enjoyed ourselves in there.

Kraft's "We are all Patriots" quote. I love it.

Tedy Bruschi. Obviously, I'm a big fan (I'm wearing his jersey).

Me in the huddle.

Chatting with Mike Vrabel on the bench.

In the locker room.

Chris and I in a Pats den.

Three Super Bowl trophies!

Dunn Park next to Chris's house. Stopped to take some snow pictures to show the kids.

Standing on the ice at Dunn Park.

I love this tree at Chris's neighbor's house.

Troy Brown autographed jersey and picture with Narragansett Beer props (Brown is associated with the beer).

Took the dog for a wolk with Chris Sunday morning. It was COLD (I think it was 3 degrees)!

The dog and I with my six layers of clothes. Still had to walk backwards when the wind was blowing toward my face. Standing in snowmobile tracks.

Love this old barn on the dog walking route.
