The Falcons Training camp is about 45 minutes from where we live. The facility was so big and pretty! Three football fields side by side. The players were so close. We had very good seats right next to the field. We just walked up with our soccer chairs and plopped them down in an open spot - turned out to be the best seats in the house. Everything was happening right in front of us!
After the practice several of the players stayed behind to sign autographs - the kids were loving it (as well as the adults).
We had a great time, but I was ready to get in the car with air conditioning (it was crazy hot out that day)! Here I am all hot and sweaty, just lovely, I know..crazy hair and all.
We are really looking forward to all the college and pro games. Go Dawgs! Go Jackets! (sorry, we love both teams!) Go Falcons! Go Brownies (Ken is a huge Cleveland Browns fan)!
How about you? You likey some football too?
Love, Kelli

My husband is a HUGE Eagles fan (he grew up in Bethlehem, PA, which is the teeny tiny town the Eagles training camp is held in at Lehigh University) and desperately wanted to attend training camp this year but Summer 2012 had other plans for us. It looks like you guys had a great time (minus the crazy hot heat, of course!). I hope to do be able to attend a Redskins training camp in the next few years (I'm in DC), although next year it is moving from DC-ish to Richmond :/
