A GREAT weekend.... Capped of with a great show!!

What a weekend!!!

Saturday morning we were up bright and early for Sean's Little League game... apparently sleeping in on Saturday's is a routine long gone from our family life ;) While we watched the game, Jessi and Caroline walked up to the store and came back with AMP drinks an milkshakes. AMPs are Not something I would ever buy for Jessi... and I definitely frown upon them... but got the whole "I used my own money......" So.... I guess that's just a little part of my letting her be a teenager. But... I DO draw the line at her buying crack... EVEN if it's her own money!!

After the game we went home and cleaned up for a bit and I got the kids off to all their "weekend homes" Jessi at Caroline's and Sean with Uncle Tim and AUNT Kristie ;-) Jerry and Julie came to pick Rick and I up at 4pm and it was ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a fun drive down to Portland, we checked into the hotel and then headed down to the Old Port for Dinner at Fuji. After parking in the parking garage, we started walking over to the resturant and the skies opened up like they had never rained before! We only had to walk probably 200 yards yet we all looked like we had showered in our clothes before dinner. As for dinner....WHAT A GREAT PLACE!!! It was PACKED and HOPPIN! We hung out at the bar while we waited for a table and had some $134 drinks that were WELL worth it...lol!!! I told the bartender I wanted something "raspberrish" and she invented my new favorite drink... Chambord, Vanilla Stoli, and club soda... YUM!! Dinner was a DELICIOUS BLASTY BLAST!!!! Jerry and Julie DIDN'T forget thier cameras... so once they post pics, I'll steal em and add them to my blog ;-)

After dinner we went back to the hotel and hung out for awhile in Jerry and Julie's room and then headed back to our own.... I'll spare you the play-by-play of that ;-)

I woke up at 630 the next morning and instead of going to the hotel gym, I decided to go for a walk. It was SO quiet and neat to walk all around the Maine Mall with NO cars or people anywhere in sight.

We were SUPPOSED to meet Len and Dyan for breakfast at IHOP at 1030am, but forgot that it was Mother's Day and IHOP had a line like I have never SEEN! So after a REALLY LOT of shenanigans about where to go and how to get there.... we ended up at Denny's... where we didn't get OUT of til almost 1pm! Then it was on to Machester.

In Manchester we met up with Nicole and Brhaun and all went to Margaritas for some snackies and... well.... Margaritas of course. We were going to have dinner there, but most of us were still stuffed from Denny's. We hit one more bar before the show and then it was time for Dane.


The show was great!! We were pretty high up there... so I mostly watched the screen. So it was KINDA like going to see a REALLY EXPENSIVE movie... but it was a great time!! I also love the kid that did the first opening act... too funny!! I wish I could remember his name so I could link a video... I google the shit out of it and I can't find anything. But you know me... I'll figure it out eventually!

After the show, Rick asked me if I would do it again... and I said "For just the show... with the seats we had.... probably not, for the whole "weekend experience" that we had with all my favorite people.... HELL YES!!"
