Taking Mom to the Coast

Everybody! Meet my beautiful mama!! She came to visit me for a week and my husband and I were able to take her on her very first trip to the Oregon Coast! If you know my mom, you'll know that she loves to explore, exercise and hike to see beautiful places! Last year when she visited for our wedding we didn't have time to visit the coast, but this time around I had it at the top of my list! I just knew she would love it! And as you can probably tell from the photos... She did.

Ryan Vandordrecht

My mom is in town from Florida for one week only, and this past Friday night, she flew in town just in time for us to drive to see my husband playing with Ryan Vandordrecht on stage at the Doug Fir Lounge! They are currently in production of their first full CD, so keep a lookout for it this Fall! Their set was so great, I couldn't help snapping a few photos for my blog! Here are a few shots from their show:

This Is It....or is it?

Last night Joe and I went to see Michael Jackson....erm....I mean....Kenny Wizz's tribute tour of Michael Jackson History II. Suffice it to say we were BLOWN away. We heard that Kenny was good, but we had no idea how real he made it seem!! It was like Michael Jackson reincarnated! He was incredible! He sings, he dances, he has the iconic outfits, he does all of MJ's moves TO-THE-TEE, and even looks like him up close too! By the second song I was starting to think MJ hadn't died, he just changed his name! Sitting in our seats (and getting up to dance too!), it was like MJ was truly back to life. It's a definite must-see if the tour comes to your city!  Unfortunately, the theatre didn't allow me to bring my professional camera, but I couldn't help snapping a few images with my phone! You can barely see his face, but my goodness! It was like MJ had never left the stage!
