Livin' On a Prayer

Nate and I had the chance to get away for a weekend with friends to catch Bon Jovi in Seattle! We had been looking forward to this for a long time. It was the opening night of their tour and it was a fantastic show! It was a great weekend and the weather was gorgeous! A must do on Nate's list was Red Mill Burgers. We tried to go last year when we were in town but they were closed that day. Red Mill made a list on the Food Network of 20 burgers you should eat before you die. Here we are pigging out before the show. The burgers were very good. The bacon on them was delicious and they have the best onion rings I've tasted in a long time! This was at our hotel. Come on guys, you can't really be fans--that's a Journey song! April and I getting ready to rock! See, our seats were kinda high but it was still good. There they are! Sigh! I am trying to post a video as well but so far not having any luck. Things were in bloom! Unbelievable for February and it smelled sooo good! Not a cloud in the sky. Did I mention the weather was beautiful??? I don't know what you Seattle people have to complain about (hee hee)! The wall of gum on Pike Street. Ewww! We'd never seen this before. Keni and April letting us do a photo op. We checked out the new Hard Rock Cafe downtown that just opened this month. Bon Jovi didn't stop by while we were there, though, oh well! We also caught a movie, did some shopping and ate yummy sushi and of course clam chowder. Thanks Jon and band and Keni and April--what a fun time!

Wasn't it a beautiful weekend? I loved all the blossoming cherry trees. In fact I picked part of one so I could smell it all the way home. Looks like a fun weekend! There were a lot of Bon Jovi fans at the Hard Rock when we were there Friday night. Glad you had a good time rocking out!

Glad you could enjoy Seattle when its beautiful...we've had a lot of those days this year. Sounds like a great weekend away. (Were you tempted to wear your peg legged jeans, and spray your bangs to heaven?)
