This year, due to the move, we missed our annual trek to the Gorge Amphitheater to see the Dave Matthews Band over Labor Day weekend. But we were lucky to score tickets to one of their last shows of the year (and maybe even a couple years since they are not touring next year) at Wrigley Field in Chicago this past Friday! Tom joined their fan club "the Warehouse", which is how we were able to scoop the tickets. We had to buy four too, so that means we had two extra. Great part was that Tom's cousin Andy and his girlfriend Lana were able to join us. It was a great concert! They played a ton of my faves and it was a beautiful night. I had never been to Wrigley either - super cool place. Tom was so sweet - he bought me a souvenir shirt from the show and a DMB sticker for the family truckster (aka the minivan). And if you were wondering, the kids stayed with some friends of ours, Matt & Caroline Sirmon. We were so lucky to be able to stay with them that night and to have them watch the kids for us! Thank you Sirmons! We owe you big!!
So here are a couple pics - none are very good because of the lighting but you get the idea. And I'm also including the set list... not that anyone probably cares, but I want it for my own memories (this blog acts as much as a journal for me, as it does a communication tool for family and friends).
