More Adventures in BeanTown

Last October I heard on the radio about how Kenny Chesney has started his tour off in Foxborough, MA each year at Gillette Stadium (where the Patriots play). This year was to be no different, and he would be coming with Gary Allen, LeAnne Rhimes, Sammy Haggar, and Keith Urban. (If you are not a country music lover these names mean nothing to you, but it is a pretty good concert, trust me!) There are not a lot of country music lovers that I have found here in the Cambridge/Somerville area so I wasn't sure who I could go to this concert with. Heavens knows Christian would NOT be going with me, as he loathes country music! That is when I e-mailed my aunt JaNean and asked her if she wanted to go, half thinking she would never even consider it. Within minutes she responded back that she wanted to go and that is when the planning began.
My aunt and grandma came out for a week and we had a great time exploring the area. I pulled them all over Boston; this is a LOT of walking for someone who rarely walks around. They were troopers though and didn't complain once! Of course we made our visit to Mikes Pastry's, I go there anytime I am in the North End. So Yummy!

Here is my cute Gram and Aunt Nean!
After exploring Boston on foot, we took the Duck Boat tour to give our feet a rest and see the city by land and "sea" Boston is such an amazing city!

After our adventures exploring the area we met up with Christian at the Hard Rock Cafe to celebrate his Birthday!
Many of you know that his Birthday isn't until October 2, however Nean and Gram weren't going to be around for the big 30th, so we decided to celebrate early. Christian was super surprised when they came out singing to him as he didn't realize we were celebrating his big day that is just a few months away. It was pretty funny to see the look on his face!

On Saturday we headed to the BIG CONCERT! YEAH! I had no idea what madness I was about to experience. They said they sold 60 thousand tickets within 10 minutes of them going on sale. This is hard to picture until one is there! The concert started @ 4:00p.m. It only took us an hour to park for the small fee of $40!!!!! YES, this was the going rate to PARK! Many people were waiting to park for much much longer. The Parking lot was FULL of tailgater's BBQing, playing games, and getting WASTED! Most people were in bikins and went by the theme of Kenny's song:
"No shirt, no shoes, no problem."

The concert was great and all the performers did a wonderful job! I have to say half the fun of the concert was just watching the people. I saw all of New England's finest at this concert, that is for sure! We saw girls falling all over the place, I have never seen so many smashed people in my life! Girls were crying, men were yelling, fights were breaking out. PURE ENTERTAINMENT!!! Also the clothing choice for many people was quite interesting to say the least. If I had a $1 for every jean mini skirt I saw I would have a great retirement account. I am pretty sure I had the most clothing on of anyone in the stadium. I also saw a lot of bras---please see below picture to see what I am talking about:
A) This bra does NOT blend in with the shirt you are wearing!
B) Why are you even wearing a shirt if you just want us to see your bra?
C) "That's Hot" --Paris Hilton

All around good entertainment! Seriously, we had such a fun time! The concert was great, good music, good company, and GREAT people watching!

Here I am rockin' out to Keith Urban! I love me some Keith! Thanks Nean for being so willing to come out for this concert! This was something I think I only need to experience once, but it was such a fun one time!

Country Music brings out the very best in people!
