They're off: trip to the Super Bowl 2010

Anita and Cheri had a little weekend get-away paid for by Campbell's Chunky.

2.4.10

Well, Anita and Cheri left this morning at 6:30 am, I had the honor of driving them over at 5 am, shuffle bags around to maintain the under 50 lb wt limit (crap 53lbs).  So you can bring it to the required 50 lbs or pay $125 for the overage, apparently they handle the bag differently if it weighs 3 lbs over. 

 

FYI, Anita did not necessarily win the tickets, she earned them.  6 people were nominated by the regional managers throughout the U.S. (sorry, mom and dad Norway didn’t make the cut).  From those 6, the Biggest of Wigs Chose Anita as the winner based her sales and efforts for Campbell ’s, which made her quite a bit more nervous to meet all of them in Miami vs just pulling the name out of a hat.

 

I’m sure they will have a great time, if they don’t we/I do not want to hear about it..

Well, they made it to Miami, FL, poor girls, forecast showed rain and lightning for 3 days….turns out 79 degrees and supposed to get down to 69 degrees this evening, Alison is that very cold??? 

They were greeted by 1 person who helped them grab there bags, and then a second one brought them water, and then a third took them to there very own awaiting chauffeured Suburban.   Since it is 5:30 pm there, they go to a welcome banquet prior to freshening up to go to the evening social. 

 

Meanwhile, since it is only 2:30 pm here, I am still working and soon will be driving myself home to take care of the dogs and get dinner ready for Meghan and Paige.  But I do get to pick which side of the bed I sleep on tonight, YEAH!!!, well, I get to pick which side the dogs aren’t sleeping on…..

it was a breakfast with 30 people, he came over and sat at their table with them for a few minutes and talked with them, signed several autographs, got pictures with him....Cheri has changed her mind about Troy (as she calls him now) he is very personable and down to earth. Ryan at Home
