Today we went to the NFL Experience (an opportunity for the NFL to soak its fans, disguised as an opportunity to get autographs). It poured all damn day. The whole thing was outside. It was cold. The guys had a great time. Brigid had a great time too. I was ok with these things, but I was cold. And totally wet. By the time we got back to the car after spending almost 5 hours in "The Experience," we were all completely wet. This is not the usual thing for Arizona and I probably would have enjoyed the day if I hadn't been out in it. There were a million people there today, and I cannot imagine what it would have been like if it had been sunny out.


Brigid and I did do the dummy thing, and then we focused on taking pictures of the guys. The guys got to dress up in an actual Patriots uniform, and a Giants uniform too. They also got to throw the football at a target, punt through a set of uprights, and pose as if they were a member of the Arizona Cardinals team. We drove home, after stopping at McDonald's for dinner (I never do this, but eating at "The Experience" was totally out of the question as a hot dog was $6 and a bottle of water -- a small one -- was $4). The guys participated in all the kid games and Benjamin got a temporary Patriots tattoo. We got home at 9pm -- the guys were totally exhausted. Here are some pictures from the day:
