Lambeau Field

Dominic enjoyed the Packer painted truck in the Pro-shop at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. I surprised them with a tour of Lambeau on our mini-vacation. It was very interesting.
The tour guide was nice enough to snap our photo before leaving the field. I was going to photo shop Todd into the picture because he couldn't come with on our vacation, he had to WORK !!! :-) Yay !!

Seats we will never be able to sit in again. Sigh.....


Dominic was in disbelief from the moment I pulled into the parking lot of Lambeau Field. Here he is walking where his heroes have walked. He is one happy little boy !


The tour included seeing a room (or suite rather) that someone can rent for a mere $30,000 that includes 48 game tickets and all the food and drink you can consume. Very plush indeed. Kind of sickening to think about the $$$ spent there. Famous 'butts' have sat in those very seats. Big whoopie ding :-P It was a nice view of the stadium however..If I do say so. And I do.




Food, Glorious Food

What would you like to order for breakfast Francesca ? We are at I-HOP, famous for its pancakes, you know. "I think I'll have Macaroni and Cheese please." She must be 7 or something :-)

Gabriella and her Strawberry Belgian Waffles. I think she's happy.


Our weekend in Green Bay also included a visit to Coldstone Creamery. Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. One yum for every pound I gained :-)



Olive Garden was worth the 40 minute wait to be seated. We had never been there before as a family, SOOOO good. Endless salad and bread sticks makes a bunch of kids and their Mom pretty happy. Oh, and Marnina's pizza was 5-stars !!




Vince playing with my cell phone during our wait for a table at Olive Garden. It's amazing how many things you can do with a cell phone. Thank goodness for technological distractions to help pass the time. I was busy watching people, my favorite pasttime :-)





Waterpark FUN !!!

Tundra Lodge in Green Bay, Wisconsin is a great place to go with kids. We haven't been anywhere like this in over 10 years, so it was high time to go. The children saved up their coins for over a year, and finally got to 130 dollars, about the price of one night at the water park. So, a promise is a promise, and off we went !! This is Francesca very happy to be here !
Vince enjoyed the waterslides. There were only 2, but he wore them out ! He tried pulling all of his tricks to make them more interesting, including turning himself around mid-slide and coming out the exit chute backwards. Hey, he only had about 20 seconds so I think he did pretty good!!

Gabriella looking lovely and happy all at the same time :-)


Marnina looking beautiful and joyful all at the same time :-)



This is immediately prior to entering the water park for the first time Friday afternoon. They have NO idea what awaits them......
