A Detroit Thanksgiving

   We decided to continue tradition this year by going to a Thanksgiving Day football game.  (Okay, so two years might not be long enough to be considered a tradition, but whatever...)  It was on our "to-do before baby" bucket list!
    We went to the game in Detroit because it was the closest game to us, and the Lions were playing the Packers.  (Again....I know...Packers???? It's the tradition that we're thinking about here!)



     We had a great time and managed to cram about 100 hours of stuff into one day.  Here are some thing that we did:

  • Got stuck in a snowstorm on I-94 in Indiana
  • Rerouted ourselves in the snowstorm and drove an hour out of the way but probably saved many hours by avoiding the standstill on I-94
  • Stayed at the Motor City Casino Hotel, which was beautiful, by the way
  • Had a little bit of beginners luck gambling at the casino
  • Listened to a band that covered everyone from Robin Thicke to Lynard Skynard
  • Walked through the Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit to get to the stadium
  • Walked to the game with no coats- DUH!!!  We have lived in the Midwest for 31 (or32) years
  • Ate a turkey leg dinner at the game with cranberry sauce and stuffing (picture below)
  • Sat in great seats at the game and had a super time
  • Watched the Lions demolish the Packers!!!   (40-10)
  • Tried two local craft beers (Tony)
  • Had a great time
