Zac Brown Band!

This past weekend was a great one (but, hey, aren't all weekends?!).  We didn't have too many plans for once, so we enjoyed lots of down-time and family-time.  In fact, Coleson & I each got in a nap on Sunday afternoon!  And what relaxing Saturday afternoon would be complete without a cheesy weekend movie?! 

The highlight of the weekend was the Zac Brown Band concert on Saturday night!!  Woo-hoo!!  I was itching for a date night and this one was a wonderful one indeed.  Dinner needed to be quick, but preferably somewhere different, so we ate at Jimmy John's.  Pretty tasty.  Then we were off to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.  After two opening acts, Zac came out and it was awesome.  I've heard that he's amazing in concert and he was!  The lights, the video screens, all the a/v stuff was crazy cool.  It was such a fun and energetic show.  The violin player was seriously close to stealing the show and Zac did an amazing drum break on some sort of conga drum thing {I probably knew what it was called back in my band days but not anymore :)}.  He played all my favs - Chicken Fried, Devil Went Down to Georgia, Toes, Knee Deep, Colder Weather.  And believe it or not, Alan Jackson showed up for his verse on As She's Walking Away.  I had actually told Coleson on the way there, wouldn't that be cool if Alan Jackson showed up?  He's from Atlanta,  you know.  I only wished he had sung a little longer than his handful of lines.  I'd also heard Zac plays a long show and that is also true.  I lost the battle and we left at 11:l5 (concert started at 7, Zac came on at 8:45).  But we were tired and needed to relieve babysitting Nana.  And I checked off my mental list and had heard everything I wanted to hear.  So yes, we certainly got our money's worth.  What a great show and a great night.  Thanks Coleson for the date night!!  I love you :)
