A Californian Christmas-Part 6

On Sunday, the 29th we went and saw our first NFL game! My hometown team of the Chiefs were in town playing against the San Diego Chargers.  There were about 60,000 people in the stadium, so parking was a little bit of a nightmare.  We had to take 2 cars because not everyone will fit in one.  Scott's mom has a handicap parking pass because of her ankles, so that car was able to get a parking spot within 15 minutes of getting to the stadium.  It took our car a little over an hour to find a spot.  We were actually pretty close to the stadium, it just took a long time to get to the parking structure.

The game was a pretty good one! The Chiefs lost, but it was a close game 27-24.  I did read in an article the next day that the referees should have called out an illegal formation on the defense on the Chiefs missed field goal.  Meaning that the Chiefs could have kicked again and then won the game.

I bought us tickets in the family/non-alcohol section, but we were really close to one of the soundboards so it got quite loud at times.  I got a little worried about Kylie with how loud it was and she did cry a few times because of it, but other than that she did quite well! She even slept twice, which was surprising.

Leaving the game was worse than getting in.  Again, the other car was able to get out and on the freeway within 20 minutes of leaving while we were stuck for about 2 hours just in the parking structure.  We then ate at Claim Jumper afterwards.  No playing games this time when we got home. We were all too exhausted from the fun day we had watching the football game.

The next day, Monday we spent the morning watching movies, playing games and packing.  We then ate lunch at a Mexican place called Miguel's Jr. which was pretty good.  We then headed out on the road back home to Utah! We got stuck in some traffic, but once we got through Vegas it was smooth sailing.  Apparently, we left around the same time as my mom and brother and we met up with them in St. George. We got home around 2:00am.  It was a great vacation and we are still recovering and trying to catch up from it. Thank you Fletcher family for a fun time!
