Monday Night Football

We planned a quick get away with our friends, the Copes, to go see the Broncos vs Raiders game on Monday night. It was a really quick trip, we flew out Monday morning and returned home Tuesday evening, but we had a lot of fun! It was fun walking around main street, seeing Scott's ice cream shop, eating out, and going to a pro football game.
Our driver to the game was hilarious. He was totally jamming out! We may be getting old cause the super loud music kind of hurt our ears, lol. But it was fun! Scott even started dancing a little to the music too, lol.
The stadium was packed. Over 75,000 people were there. We kind of had nosebleed seats, but it was still fun, even though the Broncos lost. About 30 minutes into the game, it started pouring, but we tuffed it out and stayed the entire game. You can't tell from the picture, but it is raining pretty hard. It eventually stopped and warmed up a bit. Dave was a sweatheart and went and bought me a dry sweatshirt. It was nice to have, because when it started raining again, it repelled the water.It was an eventful game, we saw a few fights (which I was surprised there weren't more because everyone was drunk), and there were even fireworks. Sooo much fun!
After the game, we figured there would be no way to catch a cab, and the train lines were way to long, so after a while of walking, we ended up catch a ride from a guy on a bike. We felt kind of bad for him for having to pull all 4 of us, but he made it back to our hotel in one piece. :) We all wished we would have caught a ride from a biker sooner, cause then we wouldn't have had to walk so far. We all figured we are getting old, because the 1:45 late night killed us. We couldn't get out of bed the next moring for the life of us. So about noon the next day we rolled out of bed, went to lunch then headed home. It was a short but fun get away. Next time will definetly have to be longer.
