Anniversary Trip Weekend


Okay, so our 3 year Anniversary was in April, but we decided to take a belated trip b/c Dave Matthews Band was going to be in Indiana in July...so Adam got online and got us great seats to see the show! Not only this, but Ingrid Michaelson was opening for DMB! I love Ingrid Michaelson....if you don't know who she is, you can hear a lot of her stuff on the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack.
Oh my goodness, though! She was AMAZING live, and of course so was DMB!

We took Friday off work and drove down to Noblesville, IN....we set up camp at a poophole campground...(they must have a very good web technician or something).....Riverbend Campgroud....don't go there....the bathrooms are hideous...the owners don't care what's going on...it was yucky...anyway, we set up, went to dinner and a movie and came back to find our picnic table stolen...ok....no big deal....so we went to bed.....the bathroom was a good 5 minute walk away and smelled like the monkey part of the zoo, so i peed outside the tent several times that night, not caring at all who saw....lol..sorry, too much??? Oh well, oh so true!


Saturday, we got up and decided no matter how hard it was gonna be to find one, we were gonna stay in a hotel Saturday night! Adam called and called and called and finally found us a spot! It proved to be rather difficult as it was DMB and NASCAR weekend and we were just north of Indianapolis! So, we packed up our tent, went to breakfast and shopped around a bit....Then, the morning (or afternoon) sickness kicked in...I thought I was going to die....I apologize to the kind people in the bathroom at Bed, Bath & Beyond.....I couldn't help it....really!
Anyway, I was feeling awful....Adam took such good care of me, an managed to get us an early check in at the Super 8 so I could rest before the concert....So, I took a much needed nap and geared up for a fun night!!!!

We headed to the concert and Ingrid opened the show.....then, we got to meet her and get a autograph after.....It was so exciting! Then, Dave started and it was so cool! We've both wanted to see him for so long, it was surreal! We had really good seats, but I have determined that I am getting old.....

Everyone stood up the whole time....and they should...it's Dave Matthews....but my old, pregnant butt couldn't take it and had to sit down for about a half hour....then I recooped and was ready to boogie again. HOWEVER, I also think I might have a little A.D.D.....there were so many people moving in and out to get drinks, and more drinks, and running around and dancing, I found it hard not to watch them....One guy was hitting on every girl within eye shot....another was trying to ummmm, "get busy" with his date through the whole concert and they were all in my line of vision as I tried to focus on the concert....I just wanted to tell them all to shut up and sit down! Pathetic, I know! It's a concert! BUT, I am old and apparently....a fuddy-duddy....and need DMB to play me a private concert in my yard....All in all, it was still completely amazing!

On the way home Sunday, we stopped at the recently reviewed (on the Food Network) Joe's Gizzard City and ate gizzards and deep fried things.....ummmm, stomach ache and gaseous emissions were to follow.... :) You're welcome....

ANYWAY, that is the haps, peeps!

Aside from the concert fun, it was so fantastic to have some time to reconnect (without a kiddo) with my fabulous husband! We had such a good time together and I love him so much! It was hard to come back to reality! I love you, Adam! Thank you for a wonderful trip!!
