Carrie Underwood - 101/365

Carrie Underwood came to town today! 

My mom and started home around 10:00 but not before we hit the Bob Evan's for breakfast!

We made a stop at the Easton Town Center on the way home, to visit the container store and use Gymbucks at the Gymboree! We had a great shopping trip and found lots of treasures!

My poor mom though had woken up with the "snoots." She has an allergy to mold/mildew and sometimes hotel air conditioning units will cause it to act up.

As we were driving from Columbus, I could tell my mom was feeling worse. Totally bummed, she decided to sit the concert out. I texted Rachel with like 45 minutes to spare before dinner and she said she could go! YAY! She was even nice enough to drive! LOL! 

We hopped in the car and met Jen and Karen down at Cafe Cimmento before the show.  Rachel and I parked at the Covelli Center and as I was getting out of the car, I realized, I forgot my camera..huh! Jim, being the best husband ever, drove my camera downtown! How sweet was that!? 

We had a great dinner with a crazy waitress. She was actually the bar tender filling in because it was packed! She loved kidding around with us. She was reading the specials, while I was going back and forth with Jim about the camera, and I wasn't really paying attention, so she gave me a good ribbing about that one. The food prep was a little slow because it was so busy before the show. When our food finally came, I decided to tease the waitress back. When she set down my food I said, "Oh, I ordered the special." She just looked in horror and said "huh." I said, "Yea, the special. I wanted that but I don't remember what it was." She started busting out laughing and collapsed down in the booth. She said, "I was thinking, you're going to be here another 45 minutes then"...LOL!

After dinner, it was off to the show! We got there and Hunter Hayes was already on the stage. I really like his song "Wanted", so I was excited to see him. He was really good! 

 Carrie Underwood came out with a bang. She opened with "Good Girl" and rose up out of the stage! She sang for a good hour and a half and was excellent! At one point, a piece of the stage actually rose up and traveled over the people on the floor. It was amazing! Carrie said they were having meetings about the tour and someone asked "If you could have one thing during this tour, what would it be?" She said "a flying stage, of course" and they made it happen! LOL!

 She closed out with "Blown Away", which was fabulous! The big screens had a tornado and there was confetti toward the back of the stage. Where she was standing in the front, a "real" tornado blew up out of the stage right behind her! It was really something to see! 

 We had a great girls night out!

 We were so happy Rachel could join us, but it would have been better with five girls, so momma could have come, too! Stupid allergies!

 The photo of the day is Carrie!

 Here is her flying stage....
