Day 110 Cities from the Air

Minneapolis -



Just outside Vegas




Right before hitting LA.





Cityscape of LA.

Day 70 Game Day

Game Day, Vikings vs Eagles. A balmy -5 with wind chill more like -20.

Outside the stadium is pure electricity flowing through purple veins, just as it usually is. The sidewalks are packed, the Hiawatha is crammed full of people as tight as sardines in a can. Everywhere you turn you see purple and gold, and unfortunately the occasional green speck. We'll call them "the others".

As we approach the lines we separate into our respective boy/girl lines for the pat down that allows us access to Viking's Mania.

We get blown into the stadium, (a true vikings fan will understand what it means to get blown in and out of the stadium). People are everywhere, beer lines are long, security is thick, it's GAME time folks.

Enjoy, we did, even with the loss.

Pre-game at the hotel.

Ragnar... Superintendent by day, Viking by night.















Not an empty seat in the house.







I really like this domino effect picture. I think it shows the true effort of an entire team.





Only my child could fall fast asleep in the loudest stadium in the NFL.

Day 69/365 Going from the SBN to the MSP

That folks is my shameless attempt at rapping. You have my word I won't attempt it again.

You do have to admit it's a little clever.

On to the pictures. This weekend we went up to Minnesota for the Vikings/Eagles play off game. The original plan was to drive up over two days and then take two days to drive back. While I wasn't looking forward to that, I had resigned myself to it being the most cost effective way. UNTIL, Mike surprised me at the last minute by scored us some pricelined tickets for CHEAP! So we flew up!

Here are Saturday's pictures from the airport and some of the city.











Such a loaded question...





There is something about this picture I like, underlying message maybe?
