A father/ son packer weekend

It has been John's wish to take his dad to a packer game ever since he was a boy. Johns dad became a packer fan when he was a boy growing up in Germany. The packers were the only team he could get on his am/fm radio, and so he listened. His loves his packers and even has a cheese head at their house. But he had never been to a game, EVER. This year for his dad's birthday he gave him the packers schedule and told him to choose any game he wanted to go to, because he was taking him to lambeau!

His dad choose the season opener vs the Washington red skins. 

John planned the weekend with the help of the packers fan club 

The boys had the time of their life

Hanging out at the Chicago airport

They finally made it.

At the official tailgater, it was pouring! But the boys still had a good time ( I am sure the beers helped) 

Saturday morning John got a call form the ticket office offering an upgraded ticket for $30 dollars. The boys ended up sitting 17 row up from the field. 

And the Packers win!

It was the trip of a lifetime, John's dad said it was the 5the best day of his life, behind his wedding day and the day each of his kids were born.
