Chicago-Day 3

Saturday, June 13th was another rainy day. But it didn't really matter, because Margo and I spent the day "relaxing" in our hotel room. :) The fun night before took a toll on the two mommies that don't get out much! haha. So the big concert started at 4 p.m. at Soldier Field. The bands set to perform were: Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland and Kenny Chesney. We were lucky enough to get to go backstage with Margo's sister Anne. While we were waiting for her, we saw Montgomery Gentry drive right past us on their golf carts. Anne gave us our VIP passes and took us down to the front (The Sandbar) where we would get to watch the concert. It was pretty cool to be so close and then turn around and look back and see how many people there were in that stadium, there were probably about 60,000 people at the concert. We didn't actually get to see Lady Antebellum, just heard them from the outside. So the first performance we watched was Miranda Lambert.

Below is just a picture of the stage from higher up.

Montgomery Gentry performed next, we were able to go wherever we wanted in the stadium so we decided to get something to eat and sit in the seats to listen to them. We went back down to the "Sandbar" for Sugarland. They put on a great show!!

Now it was time for Kenny!!!!!! He made his entrance on a swing, he was right above us before he landed on the stage.

He is right in front of us in the below picture.

Why doesn't anyone believe me when I say he is pointing at me?

Kenny and his band.

One last picture of us to end the night.

Luckily we left the concert a little early to catch a cab back to our hotel, because it was still hard to find a cab. Unfortunately we had to be up on Sunday morning at 4 a.m. to catch our 6:30 a.m. flight. It has taken me until about today to recover from being tired. But it was all worth it, it was a very fun trip. Thanks to Margo & Anne for inviting me!
