We are so lucky to have such sweet, sweet friends who are willing to travel to see us no matter the location! I never really questioned the Burks intentions when they came to visit us in Chicago but, traveling to Cincy in the dead of winter secured a special place in my heart.  To be fair, we wooed them with the promise of a Jimmy Eat World concert and the opportunity to sleep in!

 Appreciative of the door guy for carding us

 Oh Jimmy!  This is at least our fourth (maybe fifth??) time to see Jimmy with the Burks and this concert did not disappoint.  They played at an old theater and we scored great "standing spots" on the balcony.  I love that the age of the crowd seems to stay the same while we grow older (along with the band).  I'm pretty sure they are no longer taking shots before the show but sipping on Pellegrino and talking to their wives and kids!

Friday was a gorgeous day so I took the day off and we headed over to Kentucky to enjoy the sunshine German-style.

At the Maypole

 DC insisted we play at least four games of Frisbee and Tasha was a willing participant.

Goal!

 Porch-sitting.  You can see our manicures in this pic.  Tash and I snuck away on Friday to treat ourselves to mani/pedis and were asked no less than 4 times if we were brides-to-be!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this weekend!  For me, there is nothing more refreshing than spending time with those people who know all of you and choose to love you just the same.  Can't wait for Jimmy Eat World Tour 2012!
