Kenny Chesney. . .

I don't have anything new to blog about, photography wise, so I thought I'd share a couple personal stories complete with pictures from my point and shoot. Last Thursday, Hubby and I went to see the Kenny Chesney concert in The Woodlands. (suburb north of Houston) I think Kenny Chesney is HOT even though I know he's probably COMPLETELY bald underneath that cowboy hat. :-P The evening started great - I left the house early in order to pick up my Hubby from his lab and have a nice dinner in The Woodlands.



All of that changed a few minutes after got onto the freeway. It started to POUR! Not just a passing, summer thunderstorm - this was MONSOON type rain. :-P I even witnessed lightning strike the Exxon building in Downtown Houston! It was so cool yet scary at the same time because the thunder was so loud the car windows vibrated. :-O



Needless to say, traffic was a NIGHTMARE. It took us over an hour to drive from the Museum District through Downtown Houston. Only in Houston does the INTERSTATE flood! Not some lowly side street - I-45 was under water!



It was soooooo annoying when all the little cars were trying to get in the right lane only to have big trucks, vans, etc speed by in the flooded lanes covering our windshields in a wave of water.

After a two hour trek and sniping at each other we FINALLY made it! (SIDENOTE: Hubby and I argue/snipe at each other when stuck in traffic or under stressful situations. It worries my Mother but I tell her not to worry - this is how we communicate and release our frustrations. Once we get it all out we call a truce and all is well. :-P )

The concert was AMAZING! I felt bad for the people on the lawn 'cause they got soaked - but that's why we buy tickets under the covered area of the pavilion. We enjoy seats, A/C and protection from the elements. :-P Here are a few images from the concert:







Cell phones are the new lighters! During the song, "There Goes My Life" people waved their cell phones - not a lighter in sight!

Wow - this was a long blog post. :-) Tomorrow, I'll write about how our dog, Lizzie, almost drowned over the weekend. :-P

Have a great day!
