A Visit to Packer Country!

In hopes of furthering the job hunt we headed north to Green Bay over the weekend and while we were there we HAD to stop and "pay homage" as Nick puts it :)
We have never been to Lambeau so it was a first for everyone. The stadium itself is very impressive and then once you realize that EVERYTHING is in the one place it makes it even cooler. There are huge banquet halls, the hall of fame, the pro shop, food places, headquarter offices, and on and on.

Waiting in the atrium for our tour of the stadium to start. They were pretty wound up after being in the van for four hours so they didn't get the full impact of the tour but they had fun anyway. :)
Walking through the tunnel and out onto the field like the players do on game day. They played the notorious music and I know I for one had goosebumps.

Down on the field.

Sitting in the stands was fairly pleasant since the sun was out and it wasn't snowing and minus 30 like most game days at lambeau. I don't think I would enjoy those conditions as much.



The gift shop was very attractive to the girls because they found the giant cheese head hats. Funny kids.

As part of the hall of fame tour there is a kid's section with toys and such and they also had jerseys and helmets in a dress up area. Pretty cute, even if it is gold and green.




Our final stop of the tour was the trophy room. I think Nick would have stayed in there the rest of the day if we'd have let him. They are pretty impressive and in front of each one of those huge trophies is a super bowl ring from that year. Each one was different from the next, huge and full of diamonds.

We had a good time in Green Bay but, drove home through central Wisconsin and saw the devastation from all the rain and flooding. Made us very thankful when we got home that our basement was dry. Thank you Lord.
