At the beginning of September Jason and I went on a road trip with our good friends Mike and Candice.  The reason for the road trip?  To see Collective Soul! Jason and Mike both love this band.  It was honestly a great reason to pack up the car and have an awesome weekend together as friends.

The concert was in Wendover, Nevada just minutes across the Utah boarder.  I personally have never been to Wendover, so I was a little skeptical, but I must admit by the end I had been pleasantly surprised.

We checked into our hotel late Friday night.  You would think since we were all sharing a room as friends that we would have stayed up all night talking and laughing.  Not a chance.  I’m pretty sure we were all in bed by mid-night.  Oh the obvious signs that we are getting old!

Since the concert wasn’t until Saturday night, we had all day Saturday to play; and that is exactly what we did!  We started the day off by going to the hotel buffet (bad idea, always is) then we headed to the pool to relax.  Spending time pool-side with the folks up in Wendover was interesting to say the least!  After swimming the boys decided that it was time to go to the driving range. In Wendover you can get away whatever what, going to the driving range in your swim suit and no shoes = no problem!  Gotta love it!

Ready, Aim…

FIRE!

Lets be honest, I was saying “FORE” a lot this day!   Hey, you’ve got to start somewhere!

When I wasn’t shouting” FORE” this is what I was doing.   Not surprising.  🙂

After our fun day of playing it was off to the concert.  The concert was at the PepperMill which was right across the street from our hotel.  We bought our tickets off KSL and they were AMAZING!  We were about 5 rows back and right in the middle.  The concert hall is small and intimate which made for a great night.  Thank-You to Mike and Candice for an awesome weekend!
