Houston Home Weekend

During this DC detail I come back to Houston for a long weekend every 2-3 weeks. Actually it never feels "long" enough! This weekend was our friend's wedding, and we lucked out and scored Rob Thomas concert timing in Austin too!






Anna had asked to come to the concert and I made her promise not to change her mind if I bought her a ticket. She stayed true to her word and enjoyed every minute of it! As she wore headphones to protect her ears from the loud music, I looked around and realized-uhhhhhhh there were no other kids here. Like at all. Wait, I think there was a 12 yr old or two. Nobody seemed shocked so Ok! She enjoyed herself the way I did as a kid at a concert- reserved, and enjoying watching but not Get-up-Ouchyo-Seat going nuts. Just chill, taking it all in. It was a win! After she said she liked it better than They Might Be Giants :) Well there are many reasons for that- one of which the venue we were in last night was small and amazing with seating. Where they tape Austin City Limits TV show so top class venue. Plus she knew almost all the songs- more than TMBG- and the ones se didn't know she's asked for on her iPod. She was such a big kid- it was totally fun to have her there. WOW! She even recorded some video for me :)

After the concert we watched them walk Rob Thomas's dogs! :)



I'm pretty sure she may have a crush on Rob Thomas now!

Fun weekend but now siting in the airport to get back to work. 11 more sleeps till they come back to DC!
