Green Bay Day

The only bad thing about having to back to the dealership where we bought our Civic this fall is that we had to go Green Bay. At the climax of their football season.

Thankfully we were in the safety of our unmarked car today.

And just so you know, we were kind enough to point out Lambeau Field to Carter since he has never seen it in person. He thought is was neat to see the actual stadium but when we asked him if it gave him goose bumps, he said, "No." So that's a good sign anyway.

The real bad news about the trip was that they could not fix my lock/unlock remote on my key fob. That has not worked since we got the car but it's not every day we're in Green Bay or even close to it, so we have not had the opportunity to "swing by" until today. I guess they'll have to order a new one and we'll have to return in the next few weeks (preferably after football season).

The good news was that we made dinner plans to coincide with our trip. We went over to our friends Scott and Sandy's house in Wrightstown. We've worked with Scott for years (at the newspaper and our current employer) but usually the 4 of us only get together for golf outings. As a result, Sandy hadn't had the opportunity to meet Carter yet. We walk in and she immediately says he looks just like his dad. Hmmm... not the first time we've heard that!

Had a nice visit, good pizza and a fun time playing Family Feud and Price is Right on their PS3. No surprise that Carter could handle the remote the quickest. This old lady was out of her element (but I could yell answers pretty good from the "audience").

Got home pretty late but we were blessed with clear roads. A little foggy but no sleet or snow or anything treacherous. So that's good.

We just feel fortunate that we have been able to get together with so many friends and relatives during the holidays this year. What a treat that has been! And it's not over yet. We've got a few more days of vacation left and a few more people to see. It's another reason for the season and we like it!
