So the weekend before Thanksgiving we went to Dallas to watch the Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. I gave these tickets to Kade back in August for his birthday.
We arrived in Dallas Friday night and picked up our awesome rental car. We thought for $11 a day we were going to get a piece of crap car but luck was on our side and we ended up with a brand new 08 Ford Mustang!

Saturday we went and toured Dallas, we went to the Zoo, and then found a sports bar and watched the University of Utah crush BYU, it was a beautiful game!

On Sunday we headed to Texas Stadium pretty early because we had heard that if you are not on the road at least 2 hours before the game, you won't get there in time.

On our way to Texas Stadium

Intro of the Cowboys

Can't forget those Cheerleaders!
The game was awesome! The Cowboys played one of their best games this season. One thing I can say is that you don't mess with Texas football fans, they are crazy, loyal, and funny. I had waited until game day to buy me a Cowboys shirt and up until I got one I felt so out of place. Everyone was in Cowboys attire from head to toe. We had gone to IHOP before and even the employees at IHOP were decked out. I felt much better once I got into the spirit.
We had awesome seats and the people next to us were a lot of fun and were the high five type of fans. Anytime the Cowboys did anything they high fived everyone.
The Cowboys won of course and beat the 49ers 35-22. I am not the hugest football fan but I will say going to an NFL game has now become an addiction. I told Kade that I want to see every team in the NFL at least once. He of course didn't say no and is all for it.
Once the game was over I took Kade to Fort Worth to the Stock Yards where Red Bull holds their X-Fighters event. We ate dinner, went into some tourist shops and then went back to the hotel.
Monday we got to tour Texas Stadium. We saw inside some of the suites, where the Cowboy Cheerleaders tryout, the teams locker room, and then of course we got to walk down on the field.

It was a really fun weekend and something that just might need to turn into a tradition.
