Victory in Victoria!
Sunday, January 12, 2020
Well, we’re getting closer! Knowing that we can’t check in until tomorrow at 4:00, we decided to take our time and savor our travels. So we got up late, had breakfast, and headed down highway 77, arriving at Victoria, Texas in early afternoon.
In Victoria, we stopped and had an awesome lunch at a little place called, “The Dockside”. I think it was obvious we were out of towners, but the staff was great and made us feel welcome. We both played it safe and ordered something we’d generally order in Iowa. I ordered the chicken strip platter and Jer ordered a shrimp platter. Both platters were delish but when the party of 15 next to us got their orders of crab legs, lobster and shrimp ordered by the pound, we second guessed our order. Wow! Did that look good! Maybe we can come again on our way home.
So it was around 2p.m. When we checked into a Baymont Hotel. Very clean and very nice! So first things first - we turn on the television and oh my gosh! How could we forget? The Kansas City Chiefs were playing against the Houston Texans for the AFC playoffs. The winner would advance to the semi finals of the Super Bowl.
The moment we turned on the game, we were in shock! It appeared that the game might as well be over! The second quarter had just started and the Texans had just kicked in a field goal to give them a huge lead 24-0! I was tempted to change channels, but just like that - just like we were the bearers of good luck, the Chiefs scored! And they scored again! And again! And again! It was unbelievable! The Chiefs won with a score of 51 - 31! It was a record breaking comeback! It was so fun to watch! I can’t help but think Jer snd I brought the Chiefs good luck! So Chief fans - you owe us one - you’re welcome! Go Chiefs!
