What a weekend sports fans. What a way to celebrate. We started off the weekend with a Lions game in Detroit. A great game, ended with an interception and (Spartan) Drew Stanton's game winning drive. We left Ford field, and went right across the street to the Tigers game. Though the game didn't end with a win, we had quite the expirence. our seats were 9 rows behind home plate. They were so close we were on SportsCenter this morning! You could clearly see us on the highlights of the game! One of the best parts of the seats was the Tiger Den. A great place to get a drink, a few apps, and a great view of the game. We ended up the night at HockeyTown Cafe. What a day. People give Detroit a bad rap; but it is getting better. 5-10 years ago there was no opportunity to spend all day downtown. Spending the day downtown yesterday was not only a possibility, but better than we could have imagined.
The party didn't end on Saturday. Today we went to MeadowBrook for the wine and food festival. Wineries from near and far com into town for sampling, and great deals on bottle of great wine. The great part about these wine festivals is you can do 2-4 hours of a normal wine tasting trip in 1-2 because there is no driving between vineyards. Needless to say, Dan and Annie needed a nap after this trip.
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better weekend. great weather, great activities, great people to celebrate with. We wish every weekend could be this fun (though our livers don't wish this upon us).
