Hans parents, his brother Bob and wife, Jennifer, Hans & I during the game.
The newly built Dallas Cowboy Stadium was where the game was held. What an over-the-top facility! The big screen t.v. hanging over the field is 7 stories high and 160 feet wide. It's the largest H.D. screen in the world. It was hard to watch the game on the field. I kept wanting to look up and watch it on the screen, because I could see everything so well- even the sweat dropping off of the players faces.
Final Score!
Celebrating on the field! When the game was almost over, the announcers kept saying "Please no one on the field, please stay in your seats!" We were good little cougars (who don't even "cut corners") so...altough it took a lot of self-control, we restrained ourselves and didn't rush the field. :)
This says it all.
This is all of us the day before the game during a tour of the stadium.
We ditched our group during our tour to get this quick shot on the field. Shhh don't tell on us!

We even made some new "true blue" friends there, Beverly and James Endicott. They live in Lindon nearby, so we'll be able to see them from time to time.
The hotel we stayed at was something else, the Gaylord Texan. It has an indoor mall with several small shops, several restaurants, a spa, gym, pools, etc. all inside of an atrium. As the saying goes, "Everything's bigger in Texas"! This is a shot taken from our 8th floor balcony window looking into the atrium--pretty cool.
This is a shot of a miniature train set in the atrium, Mitch would've gone nuts seeing this!
These next three shots are of the Riverwalk Cafe in the hotel atrium. We ate here several times. It was so relaxing and beautiful.

All in all we had a great memorable trip! GO COUGARS!
