Michigan-NW: Feb 6

To celebrate Ed & Debs birthday, we invited them down to Chicago for the Michigan-Northwestern basketball game.  Dave was transitioning between working at NTI and starting with Carbon, so he stayed home to entertain.

Ed & Deb came down the day of the game and visited Wilson to see where Nadine works.  They loved the tour, each shot a couple foul shots, and got ready to head to the game.  We got to All-State arena early enough to see both teams warm-up, it was great!  Michigan was highly ranked but playing as a visitor is always tough.  The game was low scoring, and unfortunately Michigan ended up losing!  (Michigan would go on to win all their games until losing again in the National Championship game!)

After the game, we went home and had a little blueberry to celebrate (or drown our sorrows!).  The next night they hung around for all of us to go out to eat for birthday fajitas, and we even ordered maize & blue drinks!  Overall it was a great time,

A "Go Blue-berry" pie to celebrate


Even the drinks the next night were maize & blue!


Visiting Wilson before the game!  Deb made her first free-throw!
