Go Hawks!

It has been a long long long time since I've been to an NFL football game.  I think the last time and only time I went to one I may have been around 8 or 9, oh and it was in the Kingdome.  So with my birthday approaching I casually mentioned to my Dad how I would love to go to the playoff game against the Saints, not thinking anything would come of it.  Imagine my surprise when my parents called saying they would buy the tickets if I covered the airfare.  Done.

That Saturday was typical Seattle weather - rainy and windy.  But amazingly we never got wet.  The walk from the parking garage to the bar was windy.  We sat in the bar and watched it pour and I mean pour outside.  There seriously was a river of water coming off of the roofs.  It was nice and cozy inside though:

Then during the walk to the stadium, the sun actually came out.  I have photo proof:

The energy before, during and after the game was something I have never experienced.  In one word it was awesome.  I don't think I have ever seen so many people in Seahawk gear in one place in my life. View from our covered seats:

Again, it started raining, but we stayed dry:

And then after the Seahawks won the clouds parted on our way back to the bar:

I loved the band that they had playing after the game:

Even the bar was loaded with Seahawk fans.  Seriously one of the best days I have had in my life - it was so much fun!  Thank you Mom and Dad for my birthday gift!
