Steelers @ Vikings 9/29/2013 Vikings 34 Steelers 27
Rachel and I spent our three week vacation rock climbing in southern France, then a trip to Paris and then taking the Eurostar to London, England for the Steelers vs Vikings game. Believe it or not this was considered a Vikings home game.
Wembley Stadium had a great NFL atmosphere with fans from pretty much every NFL team on hand. We arrived at about 1pm and cruised the entire area. Oh yeah the Vikings get their first win of the season ... SWEET!!
The weather was the usual London weather (from what I've heard) overcast and cool with some showers possible although the weather for the game on Sunday was perfect.

Vikings win!
