MIAMI ROAD TRIP PICTURES
Here are a bunch of pictures taken from my trip to Miami, from Novemeber 19th thru the 23rd. This has have been one of the best trips I have ever taken. I met some very good people that I had found out a lot about over the past four to five years, and finally got to put names and faces together.
While the Pats game wasn't quite as much fun as all of us would have liked, I get the feeling that the people who went on this trip had a grand ol' time anyway.
A bunch of Patriots list members were on the trip (to join the list, Click Here). I have learned a lot about football through reading some of the messages that these people post.
And I must say that the female Patriots fans have to be the most beautiful around. If anyone would like to argue that ... go talk to Ol' Bloody Bill. :)
Enjoy!
Some of these are large files, so please be patient.
Saturday, November 20
Hanging out in the Lobby. Watching some college football. From left to right: Patriot Rick's Son (Andrew?), Phil, Dave, some Packers fan (sitting down, don't ask), Dan, Patriot Rick and Bama.
Waiting for the Team. Taken outside the lobby of the Marriott as we waited two hours for the team busses to show, this includes most of the list members that made the trip.
Gone fishing. Phil and Laureen hold up the Dolphin Fish they caught fishing Saturday morning. Well Laureen pretends to hold it... :)
Another one in the lobby. Myself, Steph and Bill probably heading for another beer.
Ben Coates walking into the hotel.
Slade signing autographs. Bama gets his Slade shirt signed.
Coach Pete Carroll ... taken in the process of him calling the picture taker and his cohorts a bunch of drunks.
Game Day, Sunday, November 21
Starting Early ... nothing wrong with a beer at 8:30 AM is there? Dan, myself and Glenn waiting in the lobby ... we had to twist Glenn's arm (yeah right) to join us in havin a beer or two.
On the bus ... Rick, Bama, Brew Gnat and his brother Ice Pick (with the bandana), Brandon (Bill's son) and Laureen enjoying the bus ride
New Pats Uniforms? Matt Crane's buddies modeling the Pats uniforms for next year.
In preparation for the game ... the tailgate begins.
Everyone on the trip. The whole bus load gathers together for a group picture, taken by the lone Dolphins fan on the bus ... we knew she was going to be good for something.
The Patriots List members ... from left to right, BrewGnat, Patriot Rick, Phil, Bill, Matt Crane, Laureen, Bama, & me in front. Steph and Glenn weren't in the picture, she hadn't yet arrived, Glenn was probably having a beer! :)
The two old flirts (talk about beauty and the beasts) ... Phil and Bill with Steph.
We do exist. Two of the existing three Whigham fans in the world ... wish Jacob coulda been with us. Steph and I posing with our #25 Jerseys.
Real fan ... Patriot Rick's son Andrew getting his fact painted by Rick's wife.
Looking over the crowd ... it almost felt like a home game with all the blue jerseys.
Family atmosphere. BrewGnat, Ice Pick and little Dave relaxing before the game.
Our group. Dan, Laureen, myself and my best friend Dave.
Great seats huh? Yeah there really was a game that day, and this is what we saw.
Final score ... the scoreboard tells it all.
Classy fans ... the Dolphans gave us a going away salute.
