New York Jets 10 at New England Patriots 13 - September 12, 2013

After seeing three games in the first weekend of the NFL season, I had a day to relax on Tuesday, which I did by spending it at the Museum of American History in Washington. The next day was spent driving from Washington to Foxboro, a jaunt that took nearly nine hours, as I decided to avoid tolls and traffic as much as possible.

He took us around the stadium...

After months of planning, I was ready to finally see the first game of the trip. But with a 6:30 pm start, I had a few hours to tour downtown and pick up my rental car. I don't want to give an hour-by-hour recap of my day, rather I'll just post some pictures.First, I spent some time being a tourist. The iconic State Capitol is being restored, so I could not take a picture of the beautiful golden dome, which is now covered by an ugly plastic...
