Kenny Chesney

This weekend some of the girls in my family and I drove up to Seattle for the Kenny Chesney "07" Flip Flop Summer Tour. What a concert it was. I can't remember when the last time I had that much fun. My Aunt Connie, my Aunt Jenny, my Cousin Sarah, my Mom and myself left Portland at 9:30am. We had a great time enjoying the drive up there. We reach Seattle at about noon. This is when our trip becomes EVENTFUL to say the least.

We get down by Qwest Field and we are stopped at the train tracks, the lights are flashing and you hear the noise of the dinging of the tracks indicating a train would or will be coming but the track barriers didn't come down. We are stopped for about 3 minutes, and still no train. So my Aunt Jenny who is driving, decides to put the peddle to the metal and she guns it and we go flying across the train tracks with lights flashing and all. We are all laughing so hard, trying to think about what the hell just happened.

So we are driving around trying to find a parking garage that is decent pricing. We find one and have to turn around. I am sitting in the way back of my Aunt Jenny's SUV, we stop at a red light and she has her blinker on to turn right, I notice it's a one way street. I am trying to let all of them know, but they all keep telling me to "shut up", I don't get the chance to tell them that we are going to be headed down a one way street with three lanes of traffic headed towards us....at this point the light turns green and my Aunt Jenny turns RIGHT, she starts yelling "Oh my God" at this point I am cracking up laughing, trying to speak but I can't I'm laughing so hard. Everyone is yelling and laughing and telling her to make a "U" turn before the cars that were stopped at the red light two light ahead of us, but she didn't turn around, she keeps going passing a block where she can turn....she goes through another light and than the cars start coming so she decides to turn right again before we have a head on collision, we are all panicking and screaming and I am still laughing. Finally we are off that street and going the CORRECT way, everyone at this point is laughing so hard we can't even stand it....I tried telling them :)

We get into the concert after waiting in line for an hour, and we find our seats. About 2 hours into it we are having the greatest time. My Cousin Sarah at this point has already had 3 beers at $8.25 a pop. Her and I and My Aunt Connie decide to stretch our legs and head on down to the Main Level. Were walking out and Sarah says watch this, in front of us there is a girl and a guy holding hands, Sarah speeds up a bit and Aunt Connie and I are watching her wondering what the hell is she going to do....Sarah reaches over and grabs this guys butt....as soon as she grabs his butt she runs. My Aunt Connie and I are laughing hysterically trying to figure out if what we saw was really true. YES Folks it was really true. Not only did she do this little stunt once, she did it three times.

Those were only a few of the highlights of our trip on Saturday. If I was to tell you all of it, it would take me all day. The concert was amazing and such great music. I swear I thought I was going to have no voice the next day. I absolutely loved the concert, 5 acts and all were great.

What a great time I had with my family. I don't get out much and to take the "Mommy" cap off for the day was such a blast. I can't wait for our next girls all day event. It was truly a day I will remember for a VERY long time.

Thanks Ladies for the awesome adventure...even though it took us 45 minutes to get out of Seattle. YES we got lost yet again......What a way to end our trip before we headed home back to reality :)
