11,500 miles

Burlington, VT. Been driving for nearly 24 straight hours. Less than 2 hours and 100 miles left.

Back in the Eastern Time Zone

On our way home.

We left Madison this morning heading home via Green Bay, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Canada we should get in late Tuesday or Wednesday. We had a great time in Madison. We saw uncle Tim run a half marathon, cousin Patrick play high school soccer, and polished off the day with tubing on lake Mendota in front of the state capital and governor Scott Walker's mansion (unfortunately there weren't any teachers protesting by jet ski). Pictures later. We will likely have radio silence in Canada unless we hit some WiFi.

So far

Headed home tomorrow.

More Lambeau

The preseason football was not great and the Packers got killed, but the Lambeau experience was still cool.  Much better than a tour.  We bought great 40 yard line tickets on Stub Hub and it was clear that all the people around us were season ticket holders who knew everybody in the surrounding rows.  The guy sitting next to me immediately asked me where I was from when I sat down.  In the pictures notice the normal looking local college kid cheerleaders.  There was a high school band at halftime.  We had a flyover by the National Guard at the beginning of the game.  None of the seats have backs.  We will drive through Green Bay on our way out of town on Sunday and we may poke our heads in again to see a practice session.

 

Lambeau Field

The Pack got blown out by the Browns. Despite some pretty awful preseason football the stands stayed pretty much full through the third quarter. Pretty cool seeing a game in Lambeau even if it doesn't count.

Packers Browns pre season

We were planning to make a trek up to Green Bay to visit Lambeau on our way east.  Driving to Madison yesterday it dawned on us that there is a pre season game against the Browns tonight.  After a few go arounds with Stub Hub we have some nice seats for tonight's game.
