This is us (from l to r) my sister Julie, me, my mom and of obviously my dad. Had a house full of women and since my sister and I got married no other females have been added to the family on guys. We hope that will change when she decides someday to have kids. ANYWAY, my sister and I are 12 years apart. I left home when she was about 5. I actually left to go to RU the year she started kindergarten. So we pretty much grew up each of us as only children. As we were having dinner before the concert we realized we had not been out just the 4 of us since before Julie started school. So it was a lot of fun going out.
Mom and Dad treated my sister and I to the concert of Hunter Hayes, Sara Evans and Rascal Flatts. It was an amazing concert from start to finish. I have to say I was a little uncertain about Hunter Hayes because I am not overly thrilled with his song, "Storm Warning" but as he played some of his stuff I like his music. Hard to get too excited since he is the age of my sons!
We had amazing seats. Box 9 row D seats 8-11. As you can see here perfect view of stage and performances. I definitely will say these are some of the best seats I have sat in at a concert.
We were sitting there (not too long) and the Absher family sat down 2 rows in front of us... hope they enjoyed the concert as well. Other than the drunk women who sat down and poured beer on the women in front of them we had a pretty calm (as far as not being idiots) section which was nice. They all had fun and no one acted like idiots after the drunk trio talked their way to the floor. Was not sad to see them go.
Mr. Hunter Hayes. He has some good music. His bass player with the long dreads was funny to watch though he had a rasta thing going on and stood out like a soar thumb!!!!
Sara Evans, I have always liked her and her music. That stands even more so after seeing her live. She does a great job. She seems very grounded, down to earth and she is funny. She talked about how she didn't like the clothes she had on. She had put something on before a designer sent her and thought she looked like crap so she changed 5 minutes before she performed. I liked her sense of humor was nice not to watch someone so up on their high horse. She has been through it with her ex and I know she is remarried and seems happy. Maybe will go watch her again someday.
This was the headliner of the concert Rascal Flatts. I loved their show. They were really fun as well and did an amazing job. The dude in the white pants black shirt to your far right of the picture is actually from Roanoke! How cool is that!
BY FAR BY FAR my FAVORITE moment of the night. Rascal Flatts came back for an encore. If you will look you will see 3 sets of stairs. Initially this is where the guys from RF came out of. Well during the encore the member of the Marine Corp came out stood at attention and the crowd paid tribute to them. I thought that was so cool regardless of what branch they were in. Very moving, since we have several family members and friends in the military home and abroad.
So that was our night in a nutshell!!!! Had a lot of fun with them and hope we can do the 4 of us thing from time to time. It was nice being with just them as it is nice when all our guys are with us!!!!!
