(not really)

Follow two diehard Seahawks fans on their way to Arizona for Super Bowl XLIX. Catherine and Deb have no special reason for going to the game except that they bleed blue and green.

The plan: Fly into Ontario, CA Thursday morning (6 a.m. flight out of Sea-Tac) and then drive five hours to Phoenix where a relative is hosting the ladies. Cost: About $300 round trip for airfare, $115 for rental car, and “a kidney” for game tickets.

Wednesday 7:30 a.m. “Boarding passes printed – check!”

Wednesday 6:15 p.m. “Off work – heading home to finish packing – check!”

Heading to Chase stadium for Paul Allen’s 12’s party.

Saturday 1:35 p.m.

So here’s my 12’s story for Friday….we were in the NFL Experience and me and the guy in front of me were both grand prize winners at the Head ‘n Shoulders booth. The lady at the booth said, “This is our first back-to-back winners” and I said (proudly pointing to my Seahawks shirt) “Yes, we will be!”
My prize choice was a Troy Palumalo signed football or an NFL team store gift card. I said I’d take the gift card because Troy wasn’t a Seahawk.

Saturday 3:15 p.m.
