LA Super Bowl LVI Fun - Even if we didn't Win!

Weekdays : 

  • Monday - I had my annual physical at the end of the day.  I was brave through my blood draw and all tests/vitals look good.  Ran to Target with Maci in the evening to pick up a prescription.
  • Tuesday - Maci had her skills camp for soccer in the evening
  • Wednesday - Maci had her soccer practice at 6p
  • Thursday - I wrapped my day with a virtual happy hour with Lori (my former HR leader).  I then did all my LA packing before hosting the Harty's for drinks while watching the NFL honors.  Yay Chase for Offensive Rookie of the Year and Burrow for Come Back Player of the Year!!
Friday : 
  • After the bus took the kids, Clint and I were off to get some bagels and then drop me at the airport 
    • Maci got to have a field trip to a snow tubing hill for the day!!
  • My flight was on time to Orange County, I took an Uber to LA to meet up with my mom and Molly
  • We hung out in Burbank for a bit while I ate some late lunch and then we were off to Hollywood (gross! HA)
  • After walking the Hollywood strip a bit, we stopped for beers
  • We then took an Uber back to Burbank to eat dinner, grab some candy and hang out until Christian and Meghan made it into town

Saturday : 
  • Up and at 'em around 6a - dang time zone changes and my inability to sleep in hotels!
  • I hung out in the breakfast area of the hotel until everyone was up and at 'em
  • Then we were off to our 2nd hotel
  • After getting settled in the hotel, we were off to the NFL experience in downtown LA
  • We enjoyed that for a few hours and then were trying to find a place for some drinks but we somehow got turned around in downtown and got in a rough area so hopped on the train and headed to Santa Monica
  • We enjoyed food/drinks on the pier, took pics and then found a fun bar to crash at with a juke box for the rest of the night.
  • Finally we found an Uber back to our hotel and crashed for the night!


Sunday : 
  • The big game day!  We all woke up anxious!
  • Around 9a, we started our journey to the Super Bowl and SoFi Stadium
  • We took a long but cheap/smooth trip on the light rail to a free shuttle that got us to the stadium
  • We were there around 11a and headed to the casino to meet some of Christian's friends for drinks/food
  • They headed into the stadium around 1p and we (mom, Molly and I) were off to our VIP tent - it was a little nerve wracking finding it but once we got there, it was all good to go!
  • We met some great Bengals fans, did a ton of cheering, loved the HalfTime and were super pumped right up until about the last 4 mins of the game :(
  • Clint and the kids joined our neighbors (Zac & Cari Herness) at their house for a neighborhood super bowl party - so many of them borrowed my Bengal gear for the occasion - I felt loved!!
  • It was a sad ending for sure but thankfully we found an Uber, got the hell out of the 'hood and crashed for the night!  We will get them next time!!!!
We hope you enjoyed the Bengals run and we are super excited for next year!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
