So how can I put this.....My husband is the biggest Green Bay Packers fan. He gets crap about not being from Wisconsin...look people, Iowa doesn't have a team...doesn't make him band wagon anything! Especially since he grew up without any football influence..he became a fan on his own as a child. He's loved them whether they win or lose. Since we have no hope of ever being stationed near Green Bay..we decided to take the opportunity to go to Green Bay....would you believe there were no games at all during our trip but we decided we just had to go! It didn't matter if we could see a game or not..we wanted to go visit Lambeau Field. So we did, we drove out of our way and the moment we started to see Green Bay signs on the interstate, I could feel the excitement waves flowing off my husband's car (remember, we drove separately). We decided to stay a few days in Green Bay...just incase we didn't get to do a tour on the first day. After many hours and then finding the dog kennel, we went to Lambeau...I could see the light flowing off of Ryan..He was like a child on Christmas morning...I've never seen him so excited. We've been married for 13 years and I've seen him accomplish so many things..in that moment I knew this trip out of the way was completely worth it. I wanted him to get to see the place he's always dreamed of...and someday we'll get to go to a game. We had a blast...the entire tour was amazing and our children learned so much about why their dad loves the Packers so much. I think the entire trip will be a memory that's cherished forever. Go Pack Go!
You know in the movies that sound when something beautiful shows up? Yeah..I know we heard that music in our heads when we saw this.
Putting on our bands for the tour
Taking our picture with the Lombardi statue
This is what happens when you sit in a car all day
Ryan was wearing his U.S.S. Green Bay hat and this was on the wall in Lambeau field for the U.S.S. Green Bay. Pretty amazing.

Sitting in the club suites...a beautiful site

The boys in the Packer Hall of fame.
A replica of the dressing room, which by the way, I learned on the tour is the shape of a football. Pretty awesome.

We ate at Titletown Brewery. It was pretty delicious..especially the elk burger!
Ryan in front of Brett Favre Steakhouse. We never got to eat there but he had to have a picture and a shot glass.
