Besides the amazing moment of time that I had at the Kenny Chesney concert, the rest of the weekend was a ton of fun as well. Mom and I left Portland after stopping at Starbuck's (of course) and headed to Seattle. Upon arriving we went to the University Village shopping area by UofW and ran into their large sidewalk sale. Lucky for us Pottery Barn had a bunch of beachey things on sale that we picked up for the beach house. We had lunch at the Pasta & Co and then onto the hotel. We stayed at the Hyatt in Bellvue which was very nice and it was nice not being in downtown Seattle.
Anyways.... the concert was great. Dirks Bentley was awesome, I wish I would have seen him when I had free tickets a few months ago in Portland. Big of Big & Rich, was I think stoned or wasted. Rich was really good though. Gretchen Wilson was awesome, she was with Kenny last year and she has such a great voice. And then there was Kenny..... as I may have mentioned before :) he was just great. He started to sing "When the sun goes down" and then Uncle Kracker came out and did the song with him. It was really neat. At the end Dirks Bentley, Rich and Uncle Kracker came out. It was such a great night....
I can't stop thinking about meeting Kenny, and really how could I. For that 60 seconds it seemed that I was the only one in the room. It is really neat that somebody as big as that can take that time out of their day and make his fans feel that way.
Sunday morning we stopped at Ikea on the way home and bought some storage pieces and some more little things for the beach. Mom had never been their before, she was amazed. We came home to 101 degree heat, one of the trees behind her house fell and landed on the power line, started a fire and then broke the line. We had a lot of fun and it will be a weekend I will remember forever!
