Ravinia-Steely Dan

Hello!

Saturday we had the chance to

go to the Ravinia Festival.

Steely Dan was the band there.

All day it had been raining and

storming on and off.

I was very hesitant about going

with iffy weather.

The reason...

lawn seats!

I took one for the team,

8 of us packed our coolers,

chairs, blankets, umbrellas

and candles.

Waiting to enter the gates.

Rain clouds all around but we're pushing on.

Those are all strangers to me in the above pic.

Making the best of it and

praying for no rain...

I took a picture of the pretty

architecture.

We all ran in when the gates opened to

claim our prime spots.

We sent up our temporary camp.

Looking at the sky,

I know we are in trouble!

It rained some during our picnic.

Just an annoying rain.

I sucked it up,

even though I am not a get wet

kind of girl!

Here's a pic of the pretty and delicious fruit plate.

Wine to ease the nerves of

possible rain/storms.

As the sun went down,

candles were lit.

The rain was holding off!

Some more wine was drunk/drank.

Me...

just before...

the

RAIN

came

POURING DOWN

on

US!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!

Then I felt rain going down the

back of my pants!

EWWWW!!!!

Not a camper, not a sit in the rain girl!

Steely Dan didn't even play anything popular until

we packed everything up when the rain

died down to a drizzle and

started walking to our car.

I sat on a towel on the way home.

Drenched like a rat!

Did I already say...

I'm not a sit in the rain kind of girl???

So yeah...

Today is hubs and my

27th anniversary.

He's the kind of man who remembers to

make the reservations!

(LOL, have you seen that commercial?)

Going for a nice dinner in a pretty

dress on a pretty and DRY day.

Tomorrow the celebration continues

as we go to see The Help.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Hugs!
