Raiders!

For our 10 year anniversary in September I bought Steve two tickets to the Raiders/Chiefs game for this weekend. He has been a Raiders fan since Bo Jackson was playing. I told him he didn't have to take me with him, but he did anyway! :)

 

We stayed home Friday night and Saturday with the girls (and I was still fighting my cold and feeling like crap). We dropped them off at my parents house about 3:30 Saturday afternoon and headed down to KC. We stopped in Liberty and ate at Longhorn Steakhouse, the wait was a little long but it was Saturday evening and the food was awesome! http://www.longhornsteakhouse.com/menu-listing/dinner#beyond-steak

 

We checking into the hotel and headed to the lobby. There were a lot of Raiders fan which made it fun until the ONE Chiefs wouldn't shut his mouth. He was either drunk or high on drugs but he just kept yelling and talking and pushing these fans and finally one of them lost it. Fight broke out in the bar and they shut the bar down at like 10:45. Bummer. After that we stood in the lobby with some of the guys for a bit talking and drinking and then headed back to our room.

This was some of the Raiders crowd from the hotel. They were a good crowd!

Sunday morning we woke up and headed out by 9, our hotel was within walking distance so we didn't have to worry about driving and parking! We did hear that there was a Raiders 'Super Fans' tailgate so we headed off to check that out.

It was more than we could've imagined. If you think of your stereotypical Raiders fan, that is exactly how they are PLUS some! Their tailgate happened to be right where everyone was driving into the lot, so they stood there and taunted every car that came thru. Waving flags, yelling Raiders.... it was insane. If a Raiders car came by, they would open up the gate and let them park in the lot right by them, then close the gate for Chiefs fans. It was funny and fun to check out but definitely not our scene!

We did however get to meet up with Eric and Kylie who live in KC. It worked out perfectly that they were able to get tickets and set up a tailgate for us to meet at! We always have fun with them so we are so happy that this worked out!

The weather wasn't actually too bad. It was supposed to be in the mid 50's and the only time I was actually cold, was at the game. My feet were cold but I think that was b/c the concrete was cold since we were in the shade.  Either way it was perfect and our tickets were 16 row, so they were pretty close! Even though the Raiders didn't really show up to play, we still had fun!

 This guy was turned around for a majority of the game talking to the guy in green in front of us. It was a little distracting to have him facing us!

The game was over about 3 and we headed back to the hotel, got cleaned up and changed and then decided to head to the Power and Lights district for dinner and drinks. I was exhausted and told Steve that I might not make it past 7 pm. :)

but I did make it past 7, I think it was almost 10! Go me!
I slept SO good Sunday night, it was totally what I needed! We slept until 9 and headed to Waffle House in Liberty for breakfast. Neither one of us have ever been there and it was a good, quick, experience! We actually saw some of the Raiders guys from the hotel there too!

We got back about 1:30, picked up the girls stuff from my parents house. Ran a couple errands and picked up Piper early from daycare. She is always so excited when she is the first one picked up! On the way home she said 'Can we go home and clean the whole house?'....of course, we told her yes! and she did a lot (mostly by herself b/c we didn't really want to! ha!) She wants to do more cleaning tonight too! Love it!

We picked Presley up from school about 4:30 and went straight to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, we were home by 6 and we just hung out the rest of the night! The girls played school and restaurant, we cuddled and just hung out! The rest of our week and next weekend aren't THAT busy so I'm excited!
