The last goodbye's the hardest one to say...

I have been waiting for June 1st for awhile.  Well, it finally came! We headed to San Antonio Friday night for a weekend with my parents. We had dinner Friday night at Landry's on the RiverWalk.  It was great! Boiled shrimp, wedge salad, and salmon! We even took home a slice of key lime pie for dessert. The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then my mom and I got our hair done.  We had Mexican food and margaritas on the RiverWalk at Acenar.  It was great!

Now, the real reason for this post.....Saturday night it was time to see the King, King George. We walked over to the AlamoDome for the concert.  Martina McBride opened followed by Miranda Lambert. About nine o'clock George took the stage.  He was great! He played his favorite songs, some oldies, and some new hits. He honored three wounded military men by giving them a new home, groceries for a year, a job, and a big screen tv.  It was amazing to hear 70,000 people cheer USA USA USA for these wounded warriors.  They also awarded a Medal of Honor recipient for his act of valor while he was in Afghanistan. 

George played for about two and a half hours. It was likes big sing a long with 70,000 people! By the way, George made history last night by having that many people at his show!  It was packed and it was filled with cheers and clapping. He ended the night with "the cowboy rides away."  George is such a class act and it was great to see him on his last stop of his last tour!

  1. I'm so glad y'all got to see him. He is about the only person I would want to see in concert. Sounds like y'all had a bunch of fun! And I love your hair, too! Way cute! And I showed Bobby, he thought you looked real cute. He wants me to cut mine short, but I gotta wait till this perm grows out!
