If you have followed this blog at all you know that EVERY single year I attend the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion...this year was no exception and I must say I had THE BEST TIME YET!!!   Bristol you really outdid yourself this year.  We went for three rounds the full weekend and saw so many fantastic bands, street performers, etc...I just can't describe the experience in words.  Sending out a special thank you to Doug and Jen for being such gracious hosts at their downtown loft.  We love them!!

Danny Turns 40...a Birthday Reunion of Sorts

A good six months ago our old high school buddy Danny talked about what he would like his 40th birthday to be like.  Well those who know me know I decided right then and there to make it happen for him.  He wanted his old high school buddies there, a small gaggle of his current friends, he wanted to play horseshoes, cook out, have a bonfire, etc...so we did it!!!  Mike came in from Chattanooga, James showed up, Brian of course was here, and even Harry showed up after work that night.  Danny & I kicked everyone's butts at horseshoes, we had the biggest bonfire ever at our house, an awesome spread of food, old school music and then some new school, live, by Ryan, just an AWESOME night for Danny to always remember.  Happy Birthday buddy!

Frampton Concert at The Biltmore...Ah YES!!

We are truly blessed to have been able to experience this.  If you EVER have the opportunity to see a sunset outdoor concert at The Biltmore Estate don't miss it.  I had tickets since March to see Peter Frampton live and I am so glad we did.  Folks this venue is the BEST ever.  Just look at this last picture, sunsetting over the Pisgah Nat'l Forest, The Biltmore House behind us, wine, food, a wonderful crowd and one epic guitarist and his band entertaining us.  Who could ask for more.  So glad my little Sis and Ed were able to join us for this once in a lifetime experience!!!

Zmax Dragway Charlotte NC ROCKED!!!

 My sweet hubby and I were given 6 free tickets to attend the ADRL races and we made a last minute decision to travel to Concord/Charlotte North Carolina and spend a couple of days watching the races, shopping at the fabulous Concord Mills Mall, and spending time with our friends Silas and Melanie.  We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  Our King Suite at the Courtyard Marriott next to the track was fabulous and only cost us $99 per night, the food at the Steak and Lube & Sticky Fingers was fab.  The ADRL races were CRAZY, with track temps hovering around 130 degrees the cars were fast, loose and the closest racing I've ever watched.  We love going to the round track at Charlotte and now Zmax Dragway ranks right up there with Thunder Valley for this girl. Bonus...on the way home we got to stop by the headquarters of one of the hubby's favorite channels...Speed TV.  Ya gotta love weekends like this.

CJ Turns 15 !!
