Fiest Bowl Trip

What an awesome football season our Bears had this year!  It ended with an amazing series of events that made us Big 12 Champs and got us a ticket to the Fiesta Bowl.  And the day after that happened, we booked our own tickets to the Bowl!  On New Year's Eve we boarded a plane bound for Phoenix and met up with Shannon, Danny, and Lauren once we got in town.  The weather could not have been more beautiful so we enjoyed some lunch and shopping in Scottsdale.

Then we headed to check into our hotel and get ready for New Year's Eve.  We had an incredibly yummy dinner at Twisted Root Winery and then headed to downtown Scottsdale for fireworks.  Can't remember the last time we were out for New Year's Eve so we did it right!

The next day was game day!  Is there a way you can post about attending a bowl game and not post the score?  Yes, yes there is ;)

Sadly, Shannon, Danny, and Lauren had to head back home the next morning.  Rick and I stayed another day.  If anything can soothe a broken bowl heart, a pink jeep tour of Sedona can!  It was seriously so beautiful and we had the best time.  When I booked the pink jeeps, I didn't really know all that I was in for!  Despite the fact that I saw my life flash before my eyes several times, we had a great time!  No better way to see Sedona.

We had a great time getting away together and experiencing our first BCS bowl.  We love our Bears and can't wait to see what next year brings!
