NFL Playoffs Packers @ 49ers

January 13, 2013

Keith gave me tickets to the NFC Playoff game Greenbay Packers vs San Francisco 49ers! It was a Christmas gift coordinated through his network of connections. The tickets were left at will call by Steve Young, 1994 49ers Super Bowl Champion! It was so incredible receiving the tickets given to my by my all time favorite NFL player! Thanks Babe! It was surreal!

So, we made a weekend of it. The morning of the game we toured Alcatraz. I found it very depressing and couldn't wait to get off the island. Very eye opening. While on the island I kept finding flowers to take pictures of because the flowers were the only happy moments I could find.



We stayed that weekend at the Marriott in Burlingame. While we were there we ran into some people that I recognized but couldn't quite place where I knew them from. After a while, and a little observation.... Security everywhere, jumping all over us as we stopped to look for our room key, watching our every move, we realize that the Green Bay Packers were staying in our hotel with us.

The game that night was probably the most fun I have ever had at a football game. And I always have fun at football games. I love football! I love my 49ers. Collin Kaepernick was relatively new as the starting quarterback, having only started for half the year. (Since Alex Smith got a concussion. long story, mixed feelings.... roll my eyes, still love and always will love and stand by my 49ers.) Anyway Kaepernick was incredible to watch live! The way he can move, his speed, flexability, strength. He truly is an incredible athlete! Very fun kid to watch!
