We just found out that we are the grand prize winners of an all expenses paid trip to Philadelphia to see the Hurricanes play the Flyers courtesy of 99.9 FM The Fan, a new sports talk radio station here in Raleigh, NC. We'll get round-trip airfare, 2 nights hotel at the Ritz-Carlton (OMG), tickets to the game, some meet-n-greet passes, spending cash and a foursome at River Ridge golf course.
We were hoping to plan a weekend getaway for the two of us some time before I ship off to Navy boot camp in March, but we just didn't know where the funds would come from. We've been pinching every penny trying to make the transition to military life as easy as possible. Hopefully our house will sell right away so that Kel and Dylan will be able to come wherever I'm stationed and we won't have to face paying both rent and mortgage. Going to bootcamp and being away from them is going to be hard enough, I can't imagine living away from them for any extended period of time.
We're huge fans of hockey in general, as well as the Canes. We lived in Greensboro when the team first came to North Carolina and now in Raleigh with them as well. While we love the team, we just don't get to see many games with our financial situation being what it is. Just winning the initial prize for tickets to a home game here was going to be a big treat for us, much less winning this huge package to a city we've never been before.
Thank you very much to everyone involved at 99.9, Capital Broadcasting and the Hurricanes for our own christmas miracle. It probably isn't a big deal to you guys, but its huge to us. You guys have made this a Christmas to remember for us when we weren't going to be able to do much of anything for each other otherwise.
We'll keep everyone updated throughout the weekend and post pics and all as soon as possible.
