U2

How could I forget to post a little something about U2? Their first time back to Nashville in 30 years was great! (But, I have to say I will never attend a concert at the Vanderbilt Stadium again! Waaaaay too many people for that place.)

Here are just a few snapshots of a great show.

Michael and I outside the stadium before the show – notice how sweaty we were from our walk to the stadium from our house – which was a great decision since West End was basically shut down from 5 pm until way after the show.

The craziest looking stage

End of the night - the show ended and they immediately started taking the stage apart.  And we got to watch A LOT of it since 70,000 people were all trying to leave the stadium at the same time!

 

Chihuly and Indigo Girls

As you know life changes on the fly, so while I posted here about our plans for this past weekend, plans were altered a bit. Usually, my Type A personality likes to actually do the things I say I’m going to do, however our weekend turned out to be tons of fun.

Listening to Lightening 100 on my way into work last week, I discovered that Cheekwood was doing a concert series this summer, and the Indigo Girls were playing on Friday, August 6th. I’ve never seen the Indigo Girls in person, but have always enjoyed their music. Luckily, I was able to convince Michael to go with me – as the crowd was a little different than we’re used to. Regardless, it turned out to be a beautiful night and not too hot! In addition, we got to see the beautiful Chihuly exhibit again. If you have the chance to go (especially at night), it is purely magical. These pictures just do not do it justice.

Before the concert started.  Concert started at 8 pm, but the gates opened at 5 so everyone could come in, enjoy the exhibit, lounge in a nice cool evening and eat a picnic.

Concert at night.  Sorry it's not any closer - only had my iPhone to take pics.
