I'm now a fan!

So, for David's 32nd birthday I decided to buy tickets to a New Orleans Saints game, since we had sky miles and hotel points from all of David's traveling. He was so excited that he was going to see his favorite team up close and on their own turf!
We flew in Saturday night, got up Sunday morning and headed to the stadium where they do events before the game and then at 1 p.m. they started letting people in to sit down. Of course we couldn't pass up buying some team memorabilia for our kids, which I enjoyed!

 

Here we are sitting on the 28 row, which were pretty awesome seats!

 

Some of the team warming up before the game.

 

The stadium was HUGE and very loud!

 

The start of the game - introducing the team, which was quite the show!
The Saints played the Carolina Panther's. This was a big game for two reasons: 1) the Panther's have beaten the Saints on their home field for the past 6 years and 2) the Saints need to stay undefeated. It ended up being a very intense game, but they ended up winning 30-20, which made the trip so well worth it.
We ate some yummy southern food and everyone we came in contact with was so nice. We flew home exhausted, but this trip certainly swayed me to be a devoted Saints fan!
And we can't forget my mom who watched the kids while we sped off for 48 hours. We love you mom and appreciate you having taken such good care of our kiddies!
