He has really been into football this year since he got into playing fantasy football so I thought it would be fun to go to the Seahawks playoff game. It was the first game that I have been to in the stadium but Mike has been there a few times. 
We didn't have the best seats in the stadium but we did have seats in the stadium so they worked just fine if you ask me. :)
I think that Mike was excited to get to go once he figured out that was what we were doing. I told him we were going to measure a job for my work that was toward Seattle so he didn't even get suspicious. 
After the shocking upset the field was covered with people. We stayed and watched as the crowd went crazy. I don't think anyone left their seat until all of the players, coaches, reporters, and chearleaders were off the field. It was so fun to watch and to listen to how loud is actually gets in there. My ears were ringing.
This would be the parking garage that we parked at downtown. We got to the field and the parking was full everywhere and it costs $40 to park a car for the game. How ridiculous. Mike didn't know it but we were also spending the night in Seattle so I went downtown to where our hotel was at and parked in the garage there. It cost us a whole $6 to park and the bus is free during the day. I love being cheap!!! I believe this is the picture where he found out that we were staying the night. 
We went up to Pacific Place after we got checked into our room at the hotel to eat dinner and go to a movie. We ate at Gorden Biersch, it was really good. 
They had so many good looking things on the menu that we went with pizza. It was a strange choice but it sounded really good. Maybe that is because we bought pizza on Friday night but Alex and his friends ate it all before we got a chance to have any.
I was just excited to get to eat dinner in a bar. No one under 21 allowed. :)
We ate to fast and had to much time until the movie was going to start so we decided just to go outside and see what our other options were. We ended up across the street at Von's for a drink. It was packed with Seahawks fans. I think a lot of people decide to stay over when they go to the game.
We had one drink at Von's and then headed back to check out the bars at the Hotel. We were staying at the Sheraton and they had a really cool lounge. It had a fancy name but I can't remember what it was. There were some Saint's fans staying there also so we had fun listening to them and some of the other Seahawks fans that were there.
This is the view from our room at night. Guess what's next to come??????
Yep, it's the view in the morning. :)
You got a free newspaper at your door in the morning so I guess Mike decided he should read it while I was getting ready to go. 
The last stop on my fun filled birthday weekend was to go down to brunch at Ivar's Seafood House. It was so good and we ate so much. 
We had breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack and dessert all at one time. I think you could have rolled me out of there. It was a really fun weekend with Alex's birthday party and Mike's surprise night in Seattle. I sure hope they both had as much fun as I did!!!!!!

I think he was surprised and it was a lot of fun. I think I had as much fun as he did. I guess it was kind of a selfish present but atleast I got to enjoy it also. :)
