Saturday morning we ate some breakfast and took a nice long walk on the beach. Nice little exercise and chat time!! Then we basically just chilled to the max the rest of the day. Did a little shopping, a little eating, a little drinking and even a little bit more sleeping.
As the sun started to set, we headed to Wrecked at the Reef to meet up with Nate and Paula for dinner before The Peacemakers concert at JJ's. Ryan and I hadn't been to Wrecked before, but it is a pretty happening spot. The food was yummy and it was right on the beach, a place we will start frequenting from here on out!
After dinner, we drove out to JJ's for the concert. We were having a few beers in the parking lot before the concert started and while we were sitting there, low and behold Roger and the rest of the band pulled up and headed in!! It was exciting, and also our cue to get inside for the show!!
The concert was obviously amazing, per usual. I think the JJ show is my favorite, it's sort of like sitting on your back patio with a band playing for you. After intermission we lost Nate and Paula in the crowd...Paula's fun level was met...so we wandered closer, ran into our usual Roger Crew and spent the rest of the night singing and rockin!
Saturday, sadness set in that vacation was officially coming to an end. We woke up, made a delicious breakfast and headed to the gym...to work off our gluttonous Friday. We pretty much didn't do a whole lot with our Saturday. In the evening we got ready and headed downtown with my sister for dinner and the Peacemakers show at The Foundry on First. We went to dinner at Cooperstown then headed into the show. Dan Majerle walked with us over to the concert so that was a nice treat... :) So the Foundry is a new establishment, and has quite the potential, but really probably should have had a few smaller gigs before the had a sold out show in there. They didn't have enough people working the bar, and their air conditioner was broken...in July...in Phoenix. there were 1000 people in this tiny place, you can't imagine how hot it was. Despite all this, the concert was total amaze balls. A fun night, and a top notice performance by Roger.
Best day ever! NKOTBSB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to my lovely froomie Mike G, I got 4 wonderful tickets to the New Kids concert, so my sister, Amanda, Shelly and I all headed downtown for the concert of the century! :)
I met everyone at Ann's after work, and we took the light rail downtown for the show. We ate dinner at Hard Rock beforehand, skipping Jordin Sparks' performance, nothing personal Jordin!
I am obviously a NKOTB fan because of my sister, growing up, if Ann liked it, so did I, thankfully, how empty would my life be without Hanging Tough or Please Don't Go Girl?
Also, because of my growing up timing, I was also a BSB fan, but I must admit, never liked them as much as N'Sync, and now I wonder if I really liked BSB all the much, or just said I did because my friends really liked them.
I only wonder this because there were 4 songs that BSB sang, that I literally didn't know at all. I know I stopped my fanhood before they faded out, but I didn't realize how early on I let go of them obviously!! Sorry boys, no offense.
So, in my humble opinion, New Kids were amazeballs!! I mean these men are twice my age and they are jumping around, dancing, singing, really giving a good show! I feel bad saying this, but I did sort of get sad when they'd leave for Backstreet Boys to come on...I can only imagine my high school friends reaction at this point!! haha
The highlight of BSB being there was seeing my sweet Brian, so cute he is!!
Brian and Joe together, yes! Overall, it really was a fun concert, it was totally packed, and the whole place was dancing and really into it, I haven't seen that since I was a youngin!
After the concert, we headed back to Ann's and then I headed home! It was 12:30 when I got home, and Ryan was soundly sleeping, so I calmed down from my teeny bopper high and went to sleep myself. Totally amazingly fun night! Regretting not taking Friday off for sure!!
We had breakfast thanks to Kolby Saturday morning and then Ryan, Mary and I headed off to go ride ATVs in the desert.
We had a nice time riding around, until I couldn't spot Mary, panic set in then Ryan said he saw her and that she was stuck!! Lucky for us we had big strong Ryan with us and he just lifted the 4 wheeler out of the mud. He got very messy, and the guy back at the rental asked him if he got stuck, to which Ryan replied, oh no, just helped some other people out. Hopefully this man doesn't read the blog and know the truth!!
After the crazy time we had, we met back up with Adrienne and Kolby by the pool for some more relaxing!
Before we headed up to eat and head to the concert, we all went down to the beach for a bit, and we all took a nice little snooze.
We got ready and walked to the concert. The show was great, but I still stick to Cinco de Mayo as the best show as of lately!
The show ended around 1 a.m. and Mary suggested we not head home, where Adrienne and Kolby already were, so we went to the bar across from the concert. We had a far too wonderful time there, and finally headed out a few hours later. We made the long walk home, stopping several times to take photos and finally made it back to the condo at almost 4:30 a.m.!! How nutso is that?!?! Yes, the same people that went to bed at 10:30 last night!!
It was a fun day and a fun night in Mexico for sure!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
The thing I heard most when I got married was that we better not become the old married couple who never goes out. So it was quite interesting when all these people who were worried about us being lame were uber lame on one of my favorite holidays to celebrate!! Roger Clyne was playing at Salty Senorita which is like amazing, favorite band at a small little bar, sign me up!! Plus tickets were $15...tell me where you can see a concert for that price nowadays?!?!?
So out of all the folks who were going to go, it came down to the old married couple who actually did!! We grabbed some food, and ate awkwardly with it on our laps, then headed outside for some drinks and Roger! So Ryan and I were talking about when to head out, since technically we are old and married, and thought we'd head out by 10:30, but seriously figured, Roger wouldn't play that long anyway.
When he hit the stage at 8:30, he informed the audience it was a 3 hour set!! Hello amazing and yikes we'll be so tired!! Now I'm honestly not saying this to say this, but the show was the best show I've ever been to! Even better than the Mexico shows I've been to which are amazeballs!! He played Una Soda, which they never play, as well as Feeling, The Refreshments song that they haven't played in forev!! There wasn't anything about this show that didn't make me smile!! We also saw Tiffany and Carolyn out, who were also not lame, so we hung with them and mouthed to each other over the music!! We didn't stick to our 10:30 rule, but we headed out by 10:45. I left the concert sure of two things, I needed to get Unida Cantina soon and I cannot wait until Mexico and the 20th anniversary of Circus Mexicus!!
