Lets go Blackhawks...Lets go!

Today was a very exciting day. At first I didn't think it would be so exciting. We set out early in the car and picked up Mark and Char. We continued in the car, and continued, and continued, and continued some more. After seven hours of being in the car (literally) we arrived at our destination.

We were in San Jose to see a San Jose Sharks vs. Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. It is a very popular sport amongst our Midwestern friends, but no one in my family had ever witnessed the action live. It was awesome!

We scored box tickets so 'Baby Bina' and I could run around and enjoy all the festivities without worry of being in someones way or having our parents nagging us to sit down and be quiet. We had plenty of milk and food available.

Our friends were rooting for the Chicago Blackhawks, so suddenly the Sharks mascot ended up in our box with this drum that was so loud, chanting 'Here we Sharks...Here we go!', and the intire arena was chanting with him. Baby Bina started to cry and I was hiding in a corner because it was so loud. I don't think anyone in our party would have minded if he had accidentally slipped over the edge of the box.

We ended up spending the night in San Jose, and I was in love with the Marriott's lobby Christmas decorations.

Thankfully our drive home was not seven hours. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's house waiting. Game was awesome and I had so much fun, but word to the wise, never travel the day before Thanksgiving!
