DMB

This was somewhat our anniversary present to each other. Dave Matthews Band came to Charlotte for which we bought tickets the day they went on sell. One of the best things about the show was one of our favorite bands was opening for them - The Head and the Heart.

Here's a little background story to The Head and the Heart: Once upon a time they came to Raleigh. We bought tickets for around $10 a piece. Cheep. We got there, and BAM! I got super duper sick. It was awful. We heard one song and had to leave. I seriously was crying. I'm very passionate when it comes to music.

So here's our second chance to see them again! Hooray! However... turns out, if you want to see a concert in Charlotte only 12 miles away from your hotel AND if there is also a Nascar race happening, you don't need to leave for the concert 1 hour in advance you need to leave 3 hours in advance. It literally took us 2 1/2 hours to get 12 miles. Needless to say, we missed The Head and the Heart. We're beginning to think it's a curse.

All in all, we enjoyed the rest of the concert despite all the pot smokers and drunk maker-outers. I was just glad to finally partake with Jared in one of his favorite pastimes - going to see DMB.

Here I am again, snacking on some peanut butter crackers and also keep them down.

One our way home, we stopped at Ikea! It was our first visit and it really set us off dreaming! NYC apartment here we come! (Just joking! Well... maybe someday!)

This is Jared's "dreaming" look. I can see the gears turning.

 

We of course went to the baby section and found this mama and baby fox! Love it!
