This weekend we went to our first preseason football game of the year. We got to the stadium a couple hours early to tailgate for the Redskins v. Bills game.
I was super super excited for tailgate environment. I think i seriously countdown the days from the end of the season to August when we can go to our first game again. We bought a new folding table, prepped beer battered chicken drumsticks to throw on the grill, cleaned out our coolers and grill and went to bed excited for Saturday. When we got there, we realized we had tons of beer and no table for games. Fail. Only half of our party was there for a bit so things were moving a little slowly and the parking lot of was a bit empty. Guess Skins fans are not the kind to go out for the fun of tailgate in preseason.
Once the rest of our party showed up things picked up a bit. Once we started packing up, i dragged out the surprise half melted birthday ice cream cake for sketchy.
he's not actually 30. lol I love how melanie was able to get them to write "sketch" on the cake! Thanks Melanie for picking this up.
We sat in some empty seats by the Redskin's tunnel in the endzone.
not sure what was blocking this picture. weird iphone picture.
The row infront of us won the KFC bucket thing where everyone gets free grilled chicken.
our view.
players a little closer. don't think there was any zoom on this.
To continue our football frenzy weekend, we did two of our three drafts on Sunday. But first, we went out for a Birthday Brunch! We went to Front Page in Arlington. They have an all you can eat brunch that is always sure to please. The variety of food is ooc and Sketchy had never been.
sketchy and his omlette
better view of his make your own omlette
my little bit of everything plate. their salmon was pretty good!
some more breakfast staples
There were lots of other plates, moreso of lunch-like foods that i did not take pictures of to avoid us looking SUPER fat. lol
After brunch, we headed to diana's for our first league draft. Six of 10 members of the league were there. It's always much more fun to draft in person with folks so you can all make fun of one another and pressure each other into panic-picking randoms people!
After that we headed straight home to get ready for our second league draft of the night.
I was happy with both of my teams. Was more happy with my later draft when i had 3rd pick vs the smack dab in the middle 5th pick in the earlier league. I find that 2,3, 8 and 9 (out of a 10 person league) were the best positions to be picking in this particular year!
I'm in three leagues while sketchy is in four. I feel this is going to be a bit overwhelming. I'm never going to know who i'm rooting for anymore, lol. But it should be interesting! I'll do a post on JUST fantasy football later with all the players sketchy and i drafted.
Today we took it easy in preparation for our upcoming ATL trip. We finally cashed in on that Papa John's Redskin's deal. For each touchdown they score, you get a free topping, if they win the game that doubles. They scored three touchdowns on Saturday so we got a 6 topping pizza for 10 bucks!
We'll probably go out tomorrow for Sketchy's birthday and then Wednesday night is going to be packing and heading down to Fburg to his parents' place to drop off the dogs!
