A few weekends ago, Ryan and I had the chance to go to a fun football game. Back in August we had found out that the yearly Army-Navy game was going to be held here in Washington D.C., which isn't the normal venue. Well we decided since it was just a metro ride away, we had to go. We have a few couples in our ward that are also members of the military and we ended up going with one. They happened to be rooting for Navy, since he had graduated from the Naval Academy.
The cold December day dawned and we were thankful for no wind, rain, or snow. It was a cold 45 degrees, but without all those other things it was bearable. We just had to keep the supply of Hot chocolate coming. We rode the metro down and walked from the metro stop, along with thousands of other people, to Fed Ex Field. Our tickets were up on the top section, but while being high up, they were actually really good seats. We had a great view, even though we were seated on the Navy side. We arrived for the pregame stuff just in time to see all the Army cadets leaving the field and the Navy cadets marching on. We also were high enough to see the snipers that were posted around the field due to the fact President Obama and Vice President Biden were in attendance.
After a really good game it ended sadly for us Army people. We made it a round number and put up our tenth loss in a row to Navy. Army made a good run for it but it just wasn't to be. Ryan and I had a great time though and would go again in a heart beat. It only took us three hours to get home. Us along with some 81,000 others!! Until next year....Go Army!!
