Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year. Family and friends get together, you eat more then you should and there is no tyranny of gift giving. Both our kids come home which is the best thing ever. Alexandra lives in the city (Boston) and Nathaniel is off at school. So it is great when we are altogeher. It is also Nathan's birthday. Last year we were in Florida and we went to a Tampa Bay football game. What to do this year? Go see the home team! New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins.
The series of events which led us to Gillette Stadium starts with our stations fourth anniversary. Jetblue has been at Worcester for four years, longer then any other airline and next year we are expanding with flights to JFK. The anniversary was a time for awards and I got two tickets for the game against the Dolphins as well as two tickets for the catered tailgate party. Although Janine wanted to go we both decided it would be a great birthday present for Nathan and a perfect father son adventure.
Then into the game. Turns out there were a number of people I used to work with in Boston Logan in ground operations so it was a little like old home week. The game was fun and exciting and a great view of the field from our seats. Patriots "squished the fish" and won convincingly. I made sure I kept Janine up to date with pictures and text. After the game we hung around before starting our ride home.It
After getting home Nathan had to pack up his car and head back to school. A long drive and then a early morning ckass. But he said it was worth it. Best day ever!
I go to a couple of games each year. Always a fun time.
