I have lived in WI my whole life (except for the 3 years I was away at college) and I have NEVER been to the Packer's Stadium! I know I went to a jazz band camp when I was in High School, but otherwise had never really been to Green Bay. Not that there is a lot to do, but it's worth a trip-especially when it is only 2 hours away.
We drove up Saturday morning, got to see the stadium via VIP tour (Everyone gets the same tour, but you feel pretty fancy when you're sitting up in one of their best suites, and get to go through the Packer's tunnel!)
Trevin & Jack awaiting the big event! (The whole tour was stroller accessible. I figured we'd have to carry Jack in our Bjorn, so I was grateful to not have to carry around the extra 18+ lbs.)
Dan walking through the tunnel, this was a highlight. He was like a little boy. (The tour guide joked about men crying as they went through- Dan said he might so I had an eye, & the camera, on him the whole way!)
The stadium!

This is from the Packer's Hall of Fame. They had a little kid area- it's a good thing we have kids to take part in the fun!
One happy family! Check out Jack's Packer Suit from Grandma Diane! He was a big hit!
Jack trying to eat the grill in the kid's play area! They had everything you would need for tailgating, but kid size!
***Maybe I'm lame, but I would highly recommend taking the ride and doing the tour & hall of fame! It was great, could be a day trip or a weekend trip, but lots of fun either way!
(We did not go to Bay Beach because it was too cloudy, but it is an amusement park with like 25 cent rides- that would also be GREAT for families with young kids!)***
The best part about a weekend away is a night at a hotel. This is Jack's first hotel stay so it was very exciting for him to go swimming for the first time!
Jack all dressed in his swim clothes from his cousins Micah & Lauren.
And his new, sleeker, life jacket...
Dad & Jack ready for a trial run...
This video is from 10 minutes in-he was much happier here than originally.
Tara & I with the babies!
Jack finally having a good time, and of course the bath tub for a warmer swimming experience!
(We were supposed to go swimming like 3 Fridays ago-and every Friday since then- but we have had really cold/rainy Fridays. I was SO excited to finally have Jack wear his Nemo Swim Diaper and swim suit!)
Dan joked the other day that this is Jack's blog, and it is! But we love him and that is what our life revolves around. We wouldn't change a thing!

looks like fun!
Hello where is your packer cheerleading outfit?? You would have been twinners?
Great weekend! It’s true, Green Bay really has a lot to offer – and it has more to offer when it comes to Green Bay Wisconsin hotels. The last time we visited, we did not have to worry about looking for accommodations. The city has a lot of hotels and motels that visitors can choose from. It was definitely not hard to find one that suits our budget.
