Weezer Concert

We kicked off summer Friday night by going to an outside Weezer concert with Kirsten and James. We left Lexington around 5pm and headed up to Horseshoe Casino (used to be Ceasars) where the concert was held outside. There was a 60% chance of thunderstorms but it didn't rain. The concert was excellent! Weezer played all of their greatest hits so I was able to sing along with almost all of the songs. We had a blast!!!

Indy 500

The last weekend in May David and I went to Indianapolis for a small getaway. The purpose of our trip was to go to the Indy 500 Sunday. My cousin lives in Indianapolis so we stayed there Saturday night. We went to the zoo on Saturday and then the Indy 500 Sunday. The weather was HOT but nice all weekend. At the zoo we got a character sketch of the two of us, which was cool because I have never had one done. It is now framed in our house! Then that night we went to dinner at Red Lobster. Sunday was the Indy 500 and it was awesome!! It was a fun atmoshpere. The noise the cars make is by far the loudest noise I have ever heard. I have a video but that doesn't do it justice. We wore earplugs after awhile. The people we sat next to were so nice. After the race they invited us to tailgate with them because if we didn't we would just sit in traffic. They were right, people sat in their cars for an hour before they even moved out of the parking lot! We tailgated with them and their family for about an hour and a half. When we go back we will plan to tailgate after because it is way better than sitting in your car. We both would like to go back!
