So one day Lenny heard about the BonJovi/Daughtry concert and thought it sounded fun to go to. The year that Chris Daughtry was on American Idol was the first year that Lenny and I watched it (and have been hooked ever since). He was by far our favorite that year and we were both upset when he was voted off. I vowed I wouldn't watch it anymore but that only lasted until the next week. Anyways...since that was forever ago...Lenny found out about the concert and we were set on going. Too bad it wasn't coming to Salt Lake. We asked McKay (Lenny's business partner) and Aimee (McKay's wife) if they were interested in going. They were. So we booked a flight to Phoenix, found some decent tickets for the concert and headed out of cold, snowy Utah and down to warm sunny Arizona. It was a great LITTLE getaway. We got some good rest, some good food and some great entertainment. The concert was AWESOME! I'm not even sure what the best part was. I'm for sure a bigger fan of Daughtry but Bon Jovi played a ton of songs that I hadn't even realized I already knew and really liked. The only bummer was me feeling like baby was going to fall out after standing for more that 10 minutes. So I would stand and then sit for a while (while EVERYONE else was still standing - although Lenny did sit down a couple of times with me. I'm not sure if he was just doing it so I wouldn't feel so stupid or if he was a little worn out too - anyways it was nice of him) and then I'd stand up again on the best parts of the songs and jump around a little and pump my arms a little until I had to sit down again. We had an incredibly great time and really want to thank both of our moms for helping with our kiddies while we were rockin out!
Some pictures of dinner and the concert.

It was a mexican resturant - which I don't really love
but they had the best dessert!

The insane crowd of people trying to buy concert merchandise -
and yes- we too waited through intermission and 3 BonJovi
songs to get our $45 workout shirts.
