Monday Night Football!

How else would you end a perfect weekend then Monday Night Football??? What a difference a few days makes - Being in the stadium with the field in and the energy of about 100,000 people is amazing! As always, Mike and I went to the very top of the stadium to check out the view - not to bad right? Way to go Jerry! And seriously I don't think you understand how big those TV's are until you see them!!


These Carolina fans were sitting in front of us and I liked their sign :)

Did I mention that we had GREAT seats????

Keri - open your eyes! Too bad for that because it would have been such a great picture! Oh Well. Great trip, amazing 4 days. Thank you to Willie for making it extra special, and thank you to the Cowboys for a Monday night win!

Who wants to come next year????

Keepin Day 3 Real

I have been reading back through my post from Day 1 and 2 of our trip and realizing that our Dallas trips have been getting bigger each year, and I didn't know how we were going to top this one . . . Then this morning happened. I have still been feeling pretty sick and today it got much much worse AND Mike has it now :( We were a little uncomfortable at the 99 degrees day game today. Don't get me wrong it was still awesome, just not as good as being healthy right?

We tried to take this picture of ourselves (does that ever work BTW?) and you will not hurt my feelings if you say that we look like crap (and fat says Mike) I figure it is a good reminder of the day and no one can say I only put cute pictures on my blog!

So I thought this was a good balance for a WAY to good to be true weekend right? Think Again.

We were walking to the players parking lot (cause we are rockstars this weekend) and there was NOLAN RYAN. Mike loves him, adores him, has been wishing each day that we could see him or talk to him and there he was. Mike said "I just wanna shake his hand" my reply was simple "You will always regret it if you don't ask for a picture."

So he did. (and I was very proud of him)

!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! (deserving of all the exclamation points I think)

Super Second Day in Dallas!

Willie arranged for the 3 of us to get a private tour of Cowboys Stadium today - WHOA! He is not a cowboys fan, but a great friend and I was VERY excited. Our tour guide was hilarious and took us everywhere. I tried to only pick a few pictures, but there were too many great ones!!

I thought this was crazy! Can you see the man in the basket (his elevator) being raised into the GIANT TV? He was going to check and see if any of the 30,000 bulbs was out - what a job!


Isn't this picture crazy? I couldn't get over seeing the stadium without the field!

The players run through here before they enter the field - SO COOL!


Yeah, that's Tony Romo's locker, and Jason Witten is next door. I was in their locker room - whatever right? just another day . . . . .
BTW our tour guide told us that someone had written "Go Broncos" on Romo's locker - freakin broncos fans, of course they would do something like that!

Mike was in heaven.

This is in the VIP area - how much do I love the coffee table? It made me laugh and I had to take a picture!

Then we went to our 2nd Rangers game of the weekend. Willie got us tickets to the "Cuervo Club" which was amazing! (Can you believe all this stuff he did for us?!?!) Tickets here got us a really good dinner and these super comfortable RECLINING seats - awesome!
Here is the view from our seats.

And my favorite part was that Willie got put in the game! I have never seen him pitch live and it was so cool! He pitched against 3 batters and none of them got a hit - Way to Go Willie!


I wanted this picture to show more of the cool area where our tickets were, but I guess the lighting did something weird. Oh well, I guess the picture of us turned out kinda cute :)

WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!

First Day in Dallas

We made it! Here are some pictures from our first day. Willie got us these AWESOME seats for the Friday night game. Rangers won 8-3, the game was so fun!



A little something to get everyone in the baseball mood :)
