Concert

Yesterday I went with Kristin, Kim and her friend to the country's biggest country music festival right here in Martin, MI. I do not listen to country on a regular basis, but I do like some of the artists and songs. We got up at the crack of dawn so we could be there when the parking lot opened so that we then could stand in line for an hour before the gates opened.

Once inside everyone scrambled for a place to plant their chairs. Then we waited another 1 1/2 hours for the concert to begin. The sun was pretty intense all day even though they had called for rain in the afternoon. We all were very thankful for sunscreen that when applied every 2 hours like the new postings are telling you really do work!!

It was a great day to just relax with the girls. The entertainment all around us was quite interesting as well. It was announced in the evening "that today more beer was consumed than both days put together last year." Needless to say there were some pretty wasted people.

We left just before the concert ended and then sat in a MAJOR traffic jam for almost 2 hours without moving. It was getting really frustrating since we were hungry, hot, dirty, and tired. Finally as traffic began to move I convinced a car in front of us to turn around and go another way and then I was freed up to move and we escaped the gridlock.
