Cowboys Game!

I really wanted to post about our trip to the Austin City Limits Music festival but I realized I didn't take any pictures. We are definitely returning next year. The highlight of the festival for me was an excellent performance by the Eagles. They put on a great show.

So on to another exciting event: Dallas Cowboys vs. The New Orleans Saints. Thanksgiving Day. We took off for Dallas on Wednesday afternoon. Our 4 hour road trip morphed into a 6 hour trip as the highway was bombarded with holiday travelers. We arrived late Wednesday night and checked into our hotel to get a good night's rest for our big day. I highly recommend the Marriott Suites in Dallas, Market Center. The rooms were huge and the breakfast was well worth the extra 10 dollars! Thursday we started our day with a tasty room service lunch and waited anxiously for our limo transport to arrive. The stadium in Arlington is about 30 minutes from downtown. I had heard from numerous Texans that the new Cowboys stadium was amazing but I had no idea how impressive it would be in person! 90,000 fans packed the stadium for the game. Kenny Chesney did a phenomenal half time show. The Cowboys fell behind early and you could definitely feel the disappointment in the air. In the second half of the game the Cowboys surged back and took the lead. Unfortunately they couldn't pull out a win but it was still a great time.
