AFC Champions!!

After much deliberation, Kent and I decided to turn around and make the trip to Denver again for the Broncos AFC Championship game. We drove this time, and left the kids behind! Thanks to nana, poppi, and Mark, Amber, and Kenzie for making this possible for us. We had an awesome trip!

After driving all day Saturday, we took advantage of our kid free afternoon and went to the movies to see "Lone Survivor." It was very good, and emotionally intense. After our movie, Ginger, Garrett, Aden, and Xavier, were kind enough to meet up with us for a late dinner. After all our top picks proved to have loooong wait times, we ended up at Chili's. Still, one of my favorites! The food was yummy, the drinks were even better! Aunt Ginger and I got a little shnockered on just one margarita each. Lightweights! We had a blast!

Our favorite photo op outside the stadium, with the charging Broncos.

Sunday was game day. The forecast was beautiful... 60's and sunny. Couldn't ask for better weather! I never even put my hat on! We decided to head to the stadium early to join in the pregame festivities. 

Hanging out down by the field before the game. Pretending we were VIPs!

Sharing the love with our Seat Mates for the past two years, Andy and her sister Heather. Fun girls!

Wow. It held so much promise.

We stayed for the ceremony and presentation of the Championship trophy. Then we battled through the crowds to buy Kent's AFC championship hat. By that time it was almost two hours after the game!

We headed into Downtown for dinner and to watch the NFC championship game. It was crazy busy everywhere. We ended up in the Paramount Cafe, where we have had lunch with Mark and Amber before. It turned out perfectly! They seated us at a table right in front of the big screen with the game, the service was good, and our food was yummy!

The ride home was long, but we were coasting on the joy of our win and we were thrilled to be headed to the Super Bowl!
