Bran Does America: Martinis and crosschecking (not cross dressing) on a Saturday Night!

It was fabulous!! We went out to dinner and I had this amazing tortellini with chicken, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes in a tomato cream sauce. It was SOO good! Chris had the Lobster Ravioli in vodka sauce that was pretty damn good too. Of course I had to have an appletini too!

We left home at 4 and was early for our reservation at 5. Even though the place was already busy they got us in right away.
We had our meal at 5:05 which was pretty damn fast!

We left there at 5:30 and made it down town by 6, parked and walked the mile in the tunnels to get to the arena. It was nice because it was so easy to park and walk. We got there 5 mins before they opened the doors so we were able to get to our seats easy.

The first period of the game was pretty slow and the other team scored. In the second period The Rats (our team) started picking up the pace and in the 3rd, they tied it up. Two goals in two minutes! Well half way through the 3rd period, I had to PEEEEE!! I knew the game was going into overtime. They don't give a break between the 3rd period and overtime so I had to sit and wiggle and pray someone scored! Nada and they went into a shoot out.

Now they have 2 mins to get ready for the shootout. I RAN downstairs, peed and was back at my seat before the first guy went. Chris was very impressed!

In the shootout there are 5 chances and basically its whoever scores the most in those 5 chances. They got two and we got two. After that they go one on one. We scored... they did NOT! We WON!!!

We got home at 10:30 and they kids were all tucked into bed sleeping soundly. Sarah said they were both great.

Yum!!
