How was my trip to Chicago to see Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw...AWESOME!! I haven't been to a concert since the 8th grade when I went to see Rick Springfield- sad but true. It was a roasty toasty 92 degrees and I went with my sister, her hubby and my brother- who by the way doesn't even like country music but loves his sister:) There are no words to explain the excitement of seeing these people whose songs I rock out to on an almost daily basis live on stage. When it was almost over I turned to my sister and said WHAT!! I'm not done yet!!
We saw a couple of Tim McGraw look alikes but they didn't even come close to the real thing!
Before the festivities began.
My sister and I in a sweaty mess but having a great time!
While in Chicago we went to the library where my grandma was a librarian for 35 years. She gave me my love for reading and I have so many memories of spending summer days in the back room of the library- that was really for the employees- but she always let us stay back there and eat cookies and type on her typewriter. After she died they dedicated the children's library to her. I'd never seen the sign before and it brought back lots of memories. When we walked in the sign was covered up with the summer reading program poster so my sister just grabbed some chairs and she and my brother held the sign up so I could take the picture- one of the many reasons I love my sister!
I had such a good time. Thank goodness for xanax to ease my irrational fear of flying! It was so great to see all of our family. I miss living near them and getting to see everyone on a regular basis. I've given some serious consideration to becoming a Tim McGraw groupie until the end of the tour- next time he's in Chicago we will be sitting in one of the first few rows!!
