Packer Buddies Memories Game #1 - Chicago Bears!

NFL Football, a league with a great history!

Green Bay Packers, 100 years of amazing football!

Green Bay Packer Fans - the BEST!!!

This is my favorite part of my blog!  Every trip to Packer Land is a memory!  And, the people we meet always remind us, this is why Green Bay is a special place!!!  And, this trip was NO exception!

First, this was a quick trip!  Left Baltimore, BWI Airport, Sunday morning of the game at 9 AM.  And, returning home, Monday morning, at 10:30 from Milwaukee, MKE Airport.  (NOTE to self, this was too much!)

Story #1: We heard of a family that drove all night from Delaware & were arriving Sunday morning for the game!  The parents, and 4 sons, we coming to their first Packer Game!!!

Story #2:  Bear fan sitting beside me was at his first Packer game!  Needless to say, he was amazed by the Packer fans & Lambeau Field.

Story #3:  A Packer Buddy Tradition - Ice Cream at Culver's either before or after the game!  In this case, because of the late start - before the game!  A one scoop turtle!!  The picture, taken by one of those awesome Green Bay teenage, was a cute little gal that took charge!!

She took my phone, told Phil and me to sit up, smile, and hold the ice cream up so people would see the Culver's name on the ice cream cup!!  She took her time & made these two old Packer Fans look good!!!!

Story #4: On the flight home, sitting in the aisle seat with us, was a young lady, Charlotte. To make a long story short, this was the fastest flight from Milwaukee to Baltimore we ever had!  What a story!
She is the daughter of parents, that not only were season ticket holders, but, her parents were at the ICE BOWL!  Whoa!!!  And, her father(a local business man), when meeting Vince Lombardi for the first time, received 2 season tickets from Vince! And, at one game, Charlotte was getting a little football knowledge from a nice man sitting beside her, his name ....... Bart Starr!

VINCE LOMBARDI

BART STARR

Are you kidding me!!!

She was a very polite, humble, and knowledgeable - Green Bay football fan!  With a lot of great
stories!!!  And, another reason the Packer Buddies LOVE Green Bay!!!

Green Bay Packer Football!  The Football, The History, AND The People!!!
