The Little American Things and The Big American Game

About two months ago, we took notice that the Seahawks were looking really good. Superbowl good : ) And as you can see from all of our adventures, Aaron and I are not ones to sit on the sideline... or in this case, we wanted to physically sit on the sideline.

The stars aligned perfectly: since the superbowl was being played in NY, it was closer for us to travel; some of our friends in Seattle had also decided to go; and those 12th man, beast mode, legion of boom, skittles-fueled, Russell-hustle Seahawks just kept on winning. We bought plane tickets and tried to contain our excitement when we brought it up in casual conversation, scared to jinx our team since it wasn't guaranteed.

Fast forward and we are headed there this weekend, and now I can't contain my excitement. I am not only excited for the game, but also for my first trip back to 'merica. And while seeing our friends, being immersed in blue pride and just being back in the US are what will truly matter about the trip, here are the "little things" that I am also looking forward to : )

Pedestrians having the right of way
move car, you're in MY way!

Delicious, cold ambers and porters paired with an American burger 
that is happening

American television... and commercials
yes, I even kind of miss these too!

Football
the real kind, none of this soccer stuff : )

Tall buildings everywhere
ah, corporate America!

Cheaper purchases.. well, at least than I think! 
example: so for dinner I owe 15? oh wait, that's $15 not £15, cha ching!

Ah, the little things : ) GO HAWKS!
