Jimmy Buffet Concert - May 2011

The last time that we went camping was back in Feburary, I am sad to say. While we were camping, one of our friends informed us that Jimmy Buffet tickets were going on sale the next day and asked us if we had planned to buy some. At first, we were reluctant because we would have to drive to Atlanta and then drive back late, after the concert. Not something that David was willing to do! But... our friend who owns a motorhome offered for us and our other friends to ride with them and some other friends of theirs, in their motorhome. That way, we wouldn't have to worry about driving.

So, the next day... we were on the computer ... at the campground!! ... (technology is amazing!).... at 10:00am, ordering tickets!! YAY!!

It was a long wait from February until the end of May, but the day finally came when we would be going to Jimmy Buffet in concert, once again!! --- David & I haven't been to one of his concerts in probably 20 years!!

Here's a collection of photo's from our day of tailgating and having fun at the concert!!

These are SO out of order!! Sorry about that!

Everyone was trying to "chase" the shade! It was impossible!

I couldn't believe how much food there was! - That watermelon salsa was SO YUMMY!

Our little area of the tailgating world!

Me and my two friends, Laura & Brandy.

Me & my friend, Kim.

Words could not describe this guy!

I THOUGHT my friend Laura was going to be in this picture with me!! She bailed on me!

But, then... we did a group photo!

All twenty of us!! --- No. Not everyone rode in the motorhome!

Our ride to the concert!

David & I before we left.

David was ready!

This guy was cruising all over the place! Too funny!

David tries to rest for a bit before the concert started.

The crowds of people begin to pile in!!

David & I waiting for the concert to begin.

Jimmy finally arrives on stage!! Wahoo!!

David and Bruce have their "fins" up! LOL!!

Me & David. I have my "fin" on!! LOL!

It was a great concert and a LOT of fun!! We were extrememly glad to NOT be driving home after!!

Bucket List #31-33

#31 --- Stay at a ski lodge with a huge picture window and a big fireplace --- This kinda' goes along with #30. But, with this one... I would stay in a big, beautiful ski "lodge". A resort kind of place. (Hubby would be with me, of course!) I would sit next to the big picture window and watch the skiier's come down the mountain. It would be fun and beautiful! ~ Coming up on my list will be "try snow skiing" - something that I've never tried before!

#32 --- Attend another Jimmy Buffet concert --- Yes.... I am a PARROT HEAD!! Hubby and I have been to one (maybe two) of his concerts when we lived in Atlanta and were "younger". It was a BLAST! Since then, I haven't been able to get him to go to another one. Of course, getting tickets is always a hard thing to do because they sell out so quick! But... my philosophy is..... if you don't TRY, then you will never know!!! ~ I had never heard of Jimmy Buffet until I met Hubby and his family. I'm not sure if Hubby was a big fan or if it was his dad that was. I can still hear Hubby's dad singing ---- "Son of a Son of a Sailor".  Sometimes, I really miss my father-n-law.

#33 --- Stay at a Sandals resort again --- Oh, how I would LOVE to do this again!!!! Hubby and I went to the one in Montego Bay, Jamaica. He surprised me on our 5th wedding anniversary, with this trip! Since we never went on a honeymoon, this was going to be our honeymoon! YAY! We had such a wonderful time! I have always wanted to go to one of the "other" Sandals resorts that they have. The one in St. Lucia (below) is the one that I have my eyes on right now! But, hey.... I'd settle for ANY of them! They are all beautiful!!
