Mom and Dad took a much needed little weekend vacation to go see the Colts play the Patriots in Boston. Grandma and Granpa Watt watched the little ones for us. I am pretty sure that the little ones wore them totally out. We stayed with one of Keith's co-workers who works for Veolia Energy in Boston. We toured downtown Boston on Saturday and saw a lot of historic sites. Everything from, the Old North Churh, to Paul Revere's house, to the graves of John Hancock, Ben Franklin and several others. We also saw Fanuiel Hall, home of all the secret meetings for the revolution led by Sam Adams. We got razed all day long since we had our Colts attire on. The fans were really cool and had a good time with us.
We then had dinner in the town of Foxboro at Patriot Place on Saturday night. It is a really cool area. The stadium is in the middle of no where. They built an outdoor mall with all kinds of restaurants all around Gillette Stadium.
On gameday, twelve of us went tailgating right outside the stadium. It was a great atmosphere. The fans teased us a bit, but it was all in good taste. We saw everything from steamed lobsters to grilled calms...I guess they do it a little different in Baaaston. Dad even raced a couple of young pats fans with my turkey hat on. Yes, he had a couple to drink... :) The game was awesome eventhough the Colts blew it in the end. It was Dad's 95th NFL game and his 12th NFL stadium attended. Only 20 to go... :)
