With Owen happily situated at Nana and Pop-Pop's (thanks again Mom and Dad!), Bob and I layered on the long underwear and the purple, and headed into Baltimore, home of the Ravens ...
and Ball So Hard University!
It's a tradition to rub Johnny Unitas' toe for luck before heading through the gate; you can see the results of hundreds of fans honoring both the player and the custom. And there must be something to it - Baltimore is the only to team to be undefeated at home this year!
Our seats were definitely "sky view",
and we arrived a bit early (hellooooooo??),
but we were ready to go! Fear the Chu!!
The Ravens Band is really amazing. It's an all volunteer organization comprised of more than 300 musicians, flagline, color guard and equipment crew; and is the largest musical organization associated with the NFL. They've been entertaining at home games for 61 years (yep, they were around when the Colts were in their real home)!
Love, love, love Ray Lewis' entrance - he knows how to get everyone fired up! Love the glowing Raven eyes too!
It wasn't always a pretty game (apart from all those beautiful interceptions), and it was pretty darn cold, but we enjoyed it all! There's nothing like being in a record-setting crowd of fans clapping and stomping and cheering on our beloved defense. And, our course, we did get the win and are moving on to the AFC title game!
Touchdown pass to Boldin coming up!
Congrats Ravens!

What great pictures and what a wonderful time you must have had. Hope they make it to and win the Super Bowl. Easy for me to say now that the Steelers are out of it! It is always tough to watch a game between the Steelers and Ravens, I root for both teams and at the end I always feel a bit 'bewildered'...
Love the 'Raven's Roost' title. You know how I love to play with words and your's always make me smile.
Love you all... Nanny
