Random Pics from around Cleveland

These first few pics are the views we had from our hotel room which was located downtown Cleveland. We stayed at the Embassy Suites and it was pretty nice.The hotel we stayed at hosts a reception every evening in their atrium with free drinks and snack type food. We headed down there on the Saturday evening to kill time before our dinner reservations. Shawn looks like he is drinking a lot, but in his defense the glasses were really small and had a lot of ice ;) Sexy I know....aren't Celeste and I so lucky

SEAHAWKS @ BROWNS NOVEMBER 4, 2007

One of the main reasons for the trip to Cleveland was to go to see the Seahawks play the Browns. It was my first NFL game so I was very very excited. Yes we lost, that kinda sucked. But it was SO much fun. Seeing the guys warming up before the game, getting some autographs, getting a what's up head nod from a ref because I yelled "GO REFS!" It was a really good time. I got to see my favorite player have a career day and got to see Nate Burleson return a punt for a touchdown, now THAT was exciting. All in all it was a good day.

Autograph time!! The 4 of us got autographs from a couple different players. I really wanted my jersey signed by my favorite Seahawk--Bobby Engram--but he wasn't signing.

I LOVE this picture. Chris did a great job of getting just him praying with noone else in the picture.

Another favorite picture. Engram is my favorite player and I love this pic of him achnowledging us Hawks fans. He must have been pumped up because he had over 130 recieving yards and a TD.

This was probably one of my favorite moments. We gathered right down where the Hawks come out of the tunnel so that during warm ups and pre-game we could see the guys and get some autographs. This was the linebackers huddling up right in front of us. It gave me goosebumps. They were literally 5-10 feet in front us and it felt like we were right there in the huddle with them, it was awesome!!

After the game outside our hotel we met these two Englishmen who came all the way from England just to see the Browns. Of course we had to take their picture:)

NFL HALL OF FAME -- CANTON, OHIO

We spent our last day in Cleveland at the NFL Hall of Fame. We really enjoyed it--they have jerseys and game artifacts from back in the 50's and earlier, along with jerseys and footballs that broke records from as early as a week ago. The busts in the actual Hall of Fame exhibit were very cool, and the interactive displays were pretty neat (although somewhat dated). Definitely the highlight was to see Steve Largent's bust and game-worn jerseys from his days as a Seahawk.
