DMB at the Gorge

This past Labor Day weekend Nate and I went on an adventure! We drove to the Gorge in Washington to see Dave Matthew's Band play. We were lucky enough to take this trip with two of our favorite people-Nate's brother Jeff and his wife Tara.





When you go to a concert at the Gorge you either have to camp out or drive home the same night. There are no hotels close by. We chose to camp out...As you can see by the cloudy sky we are in for it!



No sooner had we set up our tents than it started to rain. By the time we got down to the amphi-theater it was pretty much pouring. We weren't exactly prepared for this, no rain coats or umbrellas. After all, we were in the middle of the desert! At one point Jeff and Tara were wearing garbage bags they got from some people several rows over. When Dave came out on stage in his garbage bag poncho, he said "that's the thing about the desert, it's a dry heat!".






The concert was amazing and under any other circumstances I probably would have had the time of my life, but I have to admit I was TOTALLY miserable. I was wet, then very cold. I think Nate thought I was being a big wimp, but I could not get warm. I don't think I got warm until the next day on the van ride home with the heater blowing on me full blast. I would love to go back again next year, but I think I will be better prepared.
