Date Night

Saturday, Dan and I had a great date. We dropped off the kids with K&G and headed down to Miller Outdoor Theater, in downtown Houston. (Swinging by Jack in the Box first to grab shakes, of course. They're pretty good!) The theater holds free events all summer long. That night was a show put on by Classic Albums Live, a group that recreates classic rock albums on stage from start to finish. The band that night played Led Zepplin's albums IV and II.

We started out on the hill,
but then the lady behind me started smoking before the show even started, so we packed up our blanket and moved up to the covered seating.
There were all kinds of different people there - hippie ladies with maxi dresses, homeless men with no shirts, business-y looking men, teenagers, kids, it was a good mix.

 It was a great show and the musicians did an awesome job. I'm sure LZ has some dirty lyrics, but for the most part, I couldn't tell what he was saying. So that was probably good. Dan loved every second of it. He said it was the best concert he's ever been to (even though it wasn't actually LZ). He even said it was 1,000 times better than any concert he's ever been to. I think he might have been exaggerating a bit. But I don't know. Look at his face.

He looks pretty happy to me.
 Sorry all of our pictures are of us holding the camera out. That's what happens when it's just the two of you. And everyone else is inebriated.

Now I realize where Sam gets his "funny smile."

So nice that you guys have family so close to watch the kids for you! Those free concerts look like fun. In Boston they had Shakespeare in the park (same idea) and we used to love it!

Led Zepplin. Does this mean Dan's going to grow his hair out to the shoulders and go hippie?
