Foo Fighters Concert!

For several years, I've been trying to give Merril tickets to the Foo Fighters for Christmas.  They're finally touring and near us!  I purchased them in the summer it seems like and now it's time to go!  The concert is at the Vivint arena in Salt Lake. 


We stopped at soonest Crown Burgers we could because they're Merril's favorite.


We checked into our hotel and walked the few blocks to the Vivint Arena.


Yay!  Foo Fighters!


Waiting for the show to start!


We both brought ear plugs because I'm a big fan of protecting my hearing.  I haven't been to many concerts but this was amazing!  The light effects were fantastic, the filming for the jumbo trons was great!  I can't believe how much energy Dave Grohl has!  He was running back and forth, jumping around, screaming, getting the audience pumped up, he was amazing.


We noticed later on Facebook that some avid concert friends attended as well.  He said it was one of the best concerts he'd ever been to.

After the concert, we walked back to the hotel in the light snow.  I was coldish but had lots of gear on so I was okay.  I think if I lived where it was really cold, I'd have a really long coat that covered my legs.  We slept and the next day ate breakfast and drove home.

I'll also add that Stephanie Campbell, a cousin, came to stay with the kids.  She not much older than our kids but she could help with Mark during the day when everyone else was in school.  The concert was on a Tuesday so that limits babysitters.  Everyone did great at home and we had a fun little getaway to celebrate Christmas and the day we met.  18 years of fun and laughter with my main man!
