Red Rocks

We had a great vacation so I'm going to take a couple of days to show some highlights. We spent a couple of nights at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Red Rocks was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1941. The man who had this vision was a genius. A performer who has been on my bucket list for a long time is Kenny Chesney. Because his music is pretty important to me I would never pay to see him in a big stadium setting. It has always been small venue or none at all. After I nearly choked on my coffee when I read he would be at Red Rocks while we would be in Colorado I had to investigate. Short story: a lot of $$ and a lifetime memory worth every penny. Our friends were able to get tickets and the show was everything I could have hoped for. The reason for our visit was to see TLP who is working in CO for the summer and to reconnect with a lifelong friend of DRD. When we arrived Tuesday we headed directly to Dan and picked him up for dinner with our friends. He informed us that he'd like to go to a concert at Red Rocks on Saturday evening. (Great minds think alike heh, heh.) Now, forgive me for doubting when I initially heard that the tickets were purchased by a friend of his in TN that he goes to school with in NC and they were going to be at the will call window. The friend had planned to come to CO for vacation and it fell through. Well, God love them, it all worked and to the show we went. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and The Avett Brothers. Needless to say, we had a rocking good time and it was great to see Dan!
