Here is the rest of our pictures from the trip. It really was one of the best trips yet. Best memories came from hearing Phil Villapiano and Tim Brown talk to us, answer questions and take photos with us.

Raider Mecca: The Last Day
Day 3 started out great. Sleep in, eat breakfast. Holly and the kids crashed and Vick and I cruised down to a mall in Hayward to visit our 3rd Raider Image store this trip. Finally it was time for the tailgate. The Raider Mecca guys were a bunch of fun this weekend and wrapped it up with a great tailgate. Then out of nowhere, Greg Townsend showed up to the tailgate and just hung out with the fans like one of the guys. It was unbelievable! I have a lot of appreciation for that guy and his dedication to the Silver and Black and their fans. Then the "game", whatever...it did start off good with a fly over from the Air Force.

Raider Mecca: Day 2
This trip just keeps getting better!! Woke up and had free breakfast, muffins, cereal, breakfast sammiches, juice, bagels...we had it all. Even though it was bfast, we were eating at around our normal lunch time. After food we got our Raider gear on and headed out to Raider Headquarters. We walked into the conference room where we've seen Al Davis and many great Raiders players before and they announced our special guest speakers: Phil Villapiano and Tim Brown!! Had goosbumps when these guys were talking...it was amazing. When they were done talking and fielding questions we split up into 2 groups. We went on the tour of HQ: the halls are lined with awesome pictures from great games; we went out on the practice field (got to tap the "I'm In!" banner the players all hit when they run out of the lockerroom); the weight room; and back to the conference room for pictures with Phil and Timmy and the Super Bowl Trophies. What an awesome day.
We ended with a trip to the Raider Image and picked up more Raiders baby gear! Picked up some In and Out burgers on the way to the hotel room and we've been here trying to recover and rest up for our long day tomorrow. There is a private party just down the road for the Sunday night game and dinner, but we cant get up. We may head over there at halftime. Tomorrow is the tailgate party all day at the stadium and then Monday Night Football!!
Check the video of my boy Vick with Phil and Timmy and all the pictures in our PHOTO GALLERY.
