Concert Bound

About a year ago Charlie and I bought tickets to the Taylor Swift 1989 concert.  Yes, they went on sale almost 12 months in advance.  Luckily we were on top of it.  We bought enough for our family and a few extras which allowed us to invite a few friends.

My friend, Larisa, and her daughter, Natalie, flew in for Labor Day weekend to hang out and go to the concert with us.  On Sunday we took them to Garden of the Gods, our favorite place to take out of town guests since we've been there more places than anywhere else, and then came home and headed out to the concert.  We had dinner first and were forced to sit at the bar because we didn't know we needed reservations.  While there Sarah said, "Mommy, it's so much fun to sit at the bar."  Man are we going to be in so much trouble with her some day.

Sarah and Andy got to go to the Taylor Swift Concert in Miami in November of 2011, but this was Amanda and Natalie's first concert.  Amanda was so excited when it started and kept screaming, "I love you Taylor, I'm your biggest fan, I want to marry you" but about an hour in she was ready to go home.  Sarah and I had a blast and because we listen to the album a ridiculous amount in the car knew (almost) all the words and sang along to it all.  Charlie and Andy didn't sit with us because we couldn't get that many seats together, but I heard that Andy knew all the words too.

Overall we had a great time and were so glad our friends could come visit and share in the fun!
