About seven years ago my family planned a trip to Disney World in the fall. At the time, I was thinking about how I would plan my schedule around getting back to the room to watch the Steelers game. Using my son as an excuse to possibly need a nap, I was ready to make sure I didn’t miss out on the weekly event. But when the schedule was released a month later after we booked the trip, I realized I had timed it perfectly. I managed to hit the bye week.
Ever since then, I’ve attempted to do some sort of family trip on a weekend when the Steelers are on bye.
